Okay, that means that the Linux machine where you run this on does not have the 'netstat' software installed. That is something that needs to be installed outside of R. For example, if it's Ubuntu, I think 'sudo apt info net-tools' will do.
(Disclaimer: I'm the author) A cross-platform alternative to netstat::free_port(), is port4me::port4me(), which is also available from CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/package=port4me). It requires no external tools, but R (>= 4.0.0). /Henrik On Tue, Dec 6, 2022 at 10:41 AM akshay kulkarni <akshay...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Dear Henrik, > The error is: > > > library(netstat) > > free_port() > sh: netstat: command not found > Error in system("netstat -n -a", intern = TRUE) : > error in running command > > Thanking you, > Yours sincerely > AKSHAY M KULKARNI > ________________________________ > From: Henrik Bengtsson <henrik.bengts...@gmail.com> > Sent: Tuesday, December 6, 2022 11:53 PM > To: akshay kulkarni <akshay...@hotmail.com> > Cc: R help Mailing list <r-help@r-project.org> > Subject: Re: [R] netstat in R in linux... > > What's the error?!? > > /Henrik > > On Tue, Dec 6, 2022 at 10:19 AM akshay kulkarni <akshay...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > > > dear members, > > > > I am using free_port() in netstat package in R.
