Ubuntu Ifconfig Not Found

Ifconfig Command Not Found - Solution

Install the Net-Tools Package

To ensure the ifconfig command is available on your Ubuntu 2004 Focal Fossa machine, you must first install the net-tools package. To install the package on Linux, fire up the terminal and enter the following command:

``` sudo apt install net-tools ```

If the Ifconfig Command Is Still Not Found

For the majority of users, installing the net-tools package should solve the problem. However, you may still find that the ifconfig command is not found. This can occur if you have installed one of the various packages that have not yet been updated to use the newer ip command, or if you have upgraded your system and the ifconfig command has been removed.

In this case, you can try the following:

``` which ifconfig ```

This will display the location of the ifconfig command. Then, you can run the following command:

``` path_to_ifconfig ```

This should run the ifconfig command.
