Editor to share with you how to use alien under Ubuntu/Debian, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's go to know it!

The software package used under the Ubuntu/Debian system is deb, so many software packages that only come out of the rpm package under Centos/Linux cannot be quickly installed directly through the software package under the Ubuntu/Debian system. The local preferred method is to directly use the source code compilation package of the downloaded software, which can be compiled and installed on different platforms, but if only the rpm package is not like when it takes time to compile and install the software. You can also install the rpm package through the alien tool. Like the yum tool under the Centos/Redhat system, you can use apt to quickly install alien. After installing the alien tool, you can use it to install and replace the rpm package under the Centos/Redhat system, or replace the deb package under the Ubuntu/Debian system with the rpm package. It is also easy to use, as follows:

Apt-y install alien# install alien tool alien-k-- scripts filename.rpm# convert rpm package to deb package alien-r filename.deb# generate Red Hat rpm package

The software package converted through the rpm package may not be installed successfully. Of course, it is best if the software used has the deb package under the Ubuntu/Debian system. It should be noted that using the apt package management tool under the Ubuntu/Debian system does not directly install the deb package like the yum under the Centos/Redhat system can directly install the local rpm package. It needs to be installed using dpkg (used to install the deb package, like the rpm command). So many people may ask, how does this solve the dependencies between installation packages? In fact, don't worry. If an installed package fails to report an error related to a dependent package after using dpkg installation, you can use the apt tool to solve the problem, as follows:

Dpkg-I filename.rpmapt-get-f-y install# install deb package if there is a lack of related dependency package error, then use the apt tool to install the relevant dependency package to solve the above is all the content of this article "how to use alien under Ubuntu/Debian".
