installpkg command not found
i'm using ubuntu 8.4
when i want install file.tgz, i found an error like "installpkg command not found" even though i have typed the command like this "#installpkg file.tgz" so, what's the problem with this? :( i need help to resolve this problem thank's |
Its a tarrred and zipped file
There are two step to unpack it 1. gunzip file.tgz 2. tar -xvf file* # what ever the name of the unzipped file. |
Are you logged in as root?
ETA: Forget that. Does Ubuntu have an installpkg command? |

tgz files are compressed files, They are used in slackware to install programs, like ubuntu uses deb files. installkg is a command in slackware to install these packages. You can however extract these packages in ubuntu using the tar command Code:
tar -xvzf file.tgz As sycamorex suggested, look in the ubuntu package manager for the program you want to install, or find the deb file. Kind regards |
If you simply can't find the software as a deb package (though this is highly unlikely), you could try the package manager paco/superpaco --- I understand it will install Slackware packages (files which have the suffix tgz) on Ubuntu systems.
...Although please note that since I've never tried it myself, I can neither offer help with it nor vouch for its worth! :) |
