dpkg: Install a package.
$ dpkg -i ${filename-deb}
try on your machine
The command "dpkg -i ${filename-deb}" is used to install a Debian package on a Linux system using the dpkg package management tool. Here's a breakdown of what each part of the command does:
- "dpkg" refers to the dpkg command, which is a package manager for Debian-based systems such as Ubuntu.
- "-i" is a flag or option for the dpkg command, indicating that you want to install a package.
- "${filename-deb}" is a placeholder for the actual file name of the Debian package you want to install. The ".deb" extension indicates that it is a Debian package file.
To use this command, you need to replace "${filename-deb}" with the actual filename of the package you want to install. For example, if you have a package called "example.deb", the command would be "dpkg -i example.deb".
Note: You may need administrative privileges (root access) to execute this command successfully.
