gdebi: Do not show progress information.
$ gdebi ${path-to-package-deb} --quiet
try on your machine

The command "gdebi ${path-to-package-deb} --quiet" is used to install Debian packages using the gdebi tool with the specified package deb file.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  1. "${path-to-package-deb}": This is a placeholder indicating the path to the package deb file that needs to be installed. You need to replace it with the actual path to the package deb file.

  2. "gdebi": gdebi is a tool in Debian-based systems used for installing deb packages. It resolves and installs dependencies needed by the package being installed.

  3. "--quiet": This parameter is used to run the installation process in quiet mode, meaning it will suppress most of the output and keep the installation process silent.

Overall, when you run the command, it will use gdebi to install the specified package deb file, resolving and installing any dependencies required, and it will do so without displaying excessive output or prompts.

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.
