How to install .deb& .tar&.rpm files on ubuntu system
2009年05月24日 星期日 11:23

Installing/uninstalling .deb files

These files are Debian packages. The package files associated with Ubuntu have the .deb suffix because of Ubuntu's close relations with the Debian GNU/Linux distribution. You will need administrative privileges to install a .deb file. See Administrative Tasks for more details.

To install a .deb file, double-click on it. If you prefer using the Terminal, enter:

sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb

You can use your package manager to uninstall a .deb file once it has been installed. Alternatively, enter the following in a Terminal:

sudo dpkg -r package_name

Converting .rpm files to .deb files

Another type of package is the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) file. These have the .rpm suffix. It is not recommended to install these on an Ubuntu system. In almost all cases, a native Ubuntu .deb package is available. However, if absolutely necessary, an .rpm file can be converted to a .deb package using the alien application. The resulting .deb file can be installed as described above.

To convert an RPM into a .deb:

  1. Install the alien package.

  2. In a Terminal, enter:

    sudo alien package_file.rpm

Installing tarballs

Files with the .tar, .tgz, .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 suffix are package files known as tarballs, and are widely used in Linux and Unix to package software. Tarballs can also be used to archive and compress other files.

If there is no native Ubuntu package available in any of the Ubuntu repositories, you can use the command line to install or uninstall the tarball file.

The first step will be to uncompress and extract the tarball. If it is a .tgz or a .tar.gz, in a Terminal enter:

tar xfvz tarball_name

Then it will be necessary to follow the instructions that come with the package. These are generally located in the extracted tarball in a file called README or INSTALL.

Tarballs often contain the source code of the program, and need to be compiled in order to be used.
