How do I install uuidgen

As Donal Lafferty's link states, it is contained in the package uuid-runtime.

To find out which package provides a file use apt-file:

sudo apt-get install apt-file
sudo apt-file update
apt-file search uuidgen

This will yield as output

uuid-runtime: /usr/bin/uuidgen

So 'uuid-runtime' is the package to install.

sudo apt-get install uuid-runtime.

Try installing this:

sudo apt-get install uuid-runtime
