How to install Dig command (Bind Utils) on CentOS 6 & 7/RHEL/cPanel Servers
ERROR :
-bash: dig: command not found
FIX :
Error shows there is no dig command found on the server.
root@server [/]# dig
-bash: dig: command not found
Log into your Linux Server via SSH as root and first check whether bind-utils package is installed on your Linux Server.
root@server [/]# rpm -qa | grep bind-utils
root@server [/]#
On the above server bind-utils package wasn’t installed and that is the reason why dig command shows error.
You can install bind-utils package using yum.
Command to install bind-utils : yum install bind-utils
