gdebi: Install local `.deb` packages resolving and installing its dependencies.
$ gdebi ${path-to-package-deb}
try on your machine

The command "gdebi ${path-to-package-deb}" is used to install Debian packages. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "gdebi": This is the name of the command-line tool used to install Debian packages. It is often used as an alternative to the popular "dpkg" command.

  • "${path-to-package-deb}": This is a placeholder that represents the path to the Debian package file (with the .deb extension) that you want to install. You need to specify the actual path to the package file in this part of the command.

When you run this command, the gdebi tool will read the specified Debian package file and handle the installation process, resolving and automatically installing any dependencies required by the package.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
