Hi Trevor,
the repository usually contains quite outdated versions of BaseX (and in this case, it apparently does not include basex-api). I would recommend you to download the zip version at http://basex.org/products/download/all-downloads/ and simply run the scripts within the bin folder.
Cheers
Dirk
I’ve Installed base via apt on ubuntu 16.10I can run basex, basexserver but not basexhttp,the command is not found
