-bash: raspistill: command not found

I am trying to hook up my Raspberry Pi Zero W, running Raspberry Pi OS Lite, to a Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Module V2. After running these commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

and enabling the camera in the raspi-config menu and rebooting per the Raspberry Pi documentation, when I run the command raspistill -v -o test.jpg according to the Raspbery {Pi documentation, I get the below error.

-bash: raspistill: command not found

The documentation says:

This probably means your update/upgrade failed in some way.

I tried it again. I ran update, upgrade commands, rebooted and enabled the camera in the raspi-config multiple times with no change in outcome.

Solution

  • raspistill has been replaced by libcamera.
