i wanted to enable SPI on my raspberry pi 3 but in ubuntu mate it says the command "raspi-config" is not found, what is the alternative to this?

Raspi-config is now installed on Ubuntu Mate by default. You can call it just the same as on Raspbian, and it works the same.
I know this is an old thread, but this may still be helpful to someone.
sudo apt-get install raspi-config did it for me. It was not availlable by default on my Mate-version on Raspi2. Now I can start raspi-config in order to enable SPI. TNX @Mohanad Kaleia, @Jacobm001, @hat and OP @Ralph
You have to manually edit config.txt to enable the Device Tree overlay. raspi-config is just a front end to the various configuration files.
AFAIK the SPI entry is there, but commented out (mine have been modified so many times I don't know the default).
Read the README in overlays for more detail.

This is the steps for ubuntu 18.04, maybe it will help you:
sudo echo "deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ jessie main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 7FA3303E sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install raspi-config

You can install it on Ubuntu Mate:
sudo apt-get install raspi-config
