Hi @vrouwerff,

which Linux distro is this with? script is part of util-linux. If you don't have script installed and in $PATH on Linux out of the box, I'll be delighted to understand details about it.

Hello, thank you, i thought it was a problem with the program but it was a package issue like you said.

@vrouwerff I could add a runtime check for command script and produce a more helpful message in theory. It would be cool to understand how your Linux does not have util-linux installed. E.g. in Gentoo it's part of the system set…

# eix --system --only-names | grep util-linux
sys-apps/util-linux

…and I have yet to see a Debian or Ubuntu without it. What Linux distro are you running and how come util-linux was not already installed? Would be cool to understand 🙏

Hi, I just wanted to add that Fedora 43 does not have script installed by default, so you need to install the util-linux-script package.

Thanks.

@mvisat interesting, thanks for sharing! How do you feel about pull request #184 for a fix?
