[Koha] Duplicate book entry in staff interface

[Aliasger Ilyas Badri]

I'm currently using Zebra as my bibliographic database in Koha. I've
encountered some challenges while trying to execute the koha-rebuild-zebra
command.

I've read that using sudo with this command can lead to permission issues,
preventing newly added bibliographic records from being automatically added
to the Zebra database. This would require running koha-rebuild-zebra after
every new book addition, which is obviously inefficient.

However, when I try to run the command without sudo, I receive the error:

-bash: koha-rebuild-zebra: command not found

I'm unsure how to proceed. Could you please provide guidance on the correct
method to execute koha-rebuild-zebra to avoid these issues?
