Hi Toshi,
Welcome to the Koha community.

I'm not familiar with Ubuntu installs. I have not seen that error on any Debian installs.

Koha supports MARC21, UNIMARC and NORMARC. In New Zealand, as in Australia, you use MARC21. During your installation, did you pass any step that prompted you to select the MARC flavour?

Otherwise, you might be better to post your question to the Koha general mailing list, where there are plenty of Ubuntu users.

I hope this helps,
Bob Birchall

Dear everyone on the Koha-oz mailing list,

Hi there, my name is Toshi, and I am a Japanese who has been living in New Zealand now nearly 12 years with my Kiwi wife (we met and married in Japan), and I am trying to set-up Koha ILS into the sole Japanese-book-library here in Auckland, which only use very analogue A4 note books to administer in-and-out library owned book records.

The thing is I encountered an error on my installation attempt of Koha ILS based on this instruction - https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_ubuntu_-_packages - Koha on Ubuntu, the line on this instruction website is at "Apache modules" - when I try to create our library using command "sudo koha-create -- create-db nihongokodomo" error appears saying that it can't find command zebra-MARC_FORMAT, and I am stuck here sadly.

My system and procedures are as below.

OS: Ubuntu Server - with Desktop 16.04 LTS
Process: all on track of the above installation website link- MariaDB was installed ok instead of MySQL, and the installed Koha Common is 17.05.06-1.

I try to know more about ZEBRA but so far I have had no luck.

I thought this process relating to MARC is important as I once managed to start-up Koha and I used it on my preferred web browser Firefox but when I tried to set-up our own library, I came across an issue around MARC21 information did not appear at all in the catalogue creating process, and I couldn't add any library books.

Therefore, please please someone give me some help!!! I was hoping to set this up before Christmas holiday so they can start putting their books into the library system so the "new" library can open in 2018!

Cheers,
Toshi Sekizaki
