Cannot install nohup command

By David Jones •

I am trying to install the nohup command. When I run sudo apt-get install nohup I get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package nohup

What is the issue here?

There is no nohup package and you don't need to install it.

This command is provided by coreutils package as you can see by

dpkg -S /usr/bin/nohup

This package should be installed by default.
