Installing rpm in Ubuntu without using alien?
Hello guys, good afternoon. :)
When we try to install deb files in Ubuntu we use this "dpkg" command. I know we need to install the "alien" program to convert the "rpm" file to "deb" file. But is there a way that we only need to type the command "rpm -i some-software-1.3-i386.rpm" to install "rpm" files in Ubuntu? Thanks and God bless. :) |
yes you can
write a shell script what will always do it for you. |

It sounds like overkill to write a script if installing rpm's is something you do only occasionally. Just my :twocents: |
Thanks for pointing that out the_trooper
I didn't realise this myself. Personally I have never used smart, but I know of it. |
