Align columns

I have a text file that I filtered using awk. I only exctracted two columns.

I want those two columns to be aligned. Most of the answers I found was to use `column -t` command. I tried that but I am getting a
`bash: column: command not found`.

Is there another way to align columns aside from `column -t`?

Thanks.

Yes, you can use awk itself, for example use printf to align those columns..
