I have some lit files I want to convert from Microsoft reader files to something my other devices can read. My friend says I should have clit, in
$ which clit
/usr/bin/clit
but I cannot find it. I tried locate clit but the results are unrelated. So then I tried sudo apt-get install clit but it says package not found.
Is clit a standard package? where can I find it?
Download Calibre - this will read your LIT format files, and also be able to convert them to other formats.
OR
you can install the clit program by sudo apt-get install convlit
The general solution to the question “Which package provides file X?” is to use the in-packages search feature of the official site's Ubuntu Packages Search page.
Scroll down to Search the contents of packages (the second search form on the page — using the first is an easy mistake and will give frustrating results).
Enter your desired filename in the search field and hit Search, and there it is:
apt-file sometimes can be even better: it has more features and searches all the sources you have enabled in /etc/sources.list, i.e. also third-party sources, which package.ubuntu.com wouldn't search (which is a downside if you don't have all the standard sources enabled, but you can still set apt-file to sync with another custom sources.list which has all of them enabled).
clit in the terminal and got an answer that it is not installed and I should run sudo apt-get install convlit. Easy, right? This feature is provided by the package command-not-found which exists in Ubuntu right out of the box.
