How the Linux system records GIF pictures

My system is ubuntu16.04lts.

The recording screen software is Byzanz

The software has a graphical interface on the GNOME desktop system, and I use the Unity Interface System, which can only be manipulated by the command line.

installation command:

sudo apt-get install Byzanz

Other tutorials on the Web have longer installation commands, which I can install on Ubuntu 16.04 with this command
