Is Aptitude capable of installing local .deb package and resolve dependency issue?
If I have a packageA.deb on my local harddisk, is aptitude capable of installing packageA.deb package and resolve any dependency issue automatically (by downloading the necessary files from the Internet) ? If so, what is the required parameter for aptitude?
Thanks. |
Yes!
You can install any deb package by "apt-get install 'package name' (in terminal window in root), aptitude, or synaptic. With a Debian based distros, my preference is to install deb packages with synaptic as it is a very easy to use GUI over aptitude. To install synaptic, open a terminal window logged in as root, and enter "apt-get install synaptic". Aptitude works as well but the GUI is a bit more primitive. Good luck with your Debian based distro..... CP |

or you can use gdebi. Description: Simple tool to install deb files gdebi lets you install local deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies. apt does the same, but only for remote (http, ftp) located packages. |
