Troubleshooting

(Note that toilet , figlet , and dialog are required for MiniShell to work.)

Missing all packages error

If you get this during startup,

[Warning] Dialog not found. Please install it!
[Warning] Figlet not found. Please install it!
[Warning] Toilet not found. Please install it!
[Error] Missing all required packages. Please check above.

please make sure you have toilet , figlet , and dialog installed.

On any distro that has the apt command, you can use this handy command to install them:

sudo apt install toilet figlet dialog

Missing X packages error

If you get this error at startup:

[Warning] Missing 2 packages. Please check above.

check the text above and install those packages. If it says, for example,

[Warning] Dialog not found. Please install it!
[Warning] Toilet not found. Please install it!

then you would install those packages using ex. sudo apt install toilet dialog
