How can you install a .deb file on Ubuntu?
To install a deb file, you can use the following methods:
- By using the graphical interface, you can simply double-click on the deb file and the system will automatically launch the Ubuntu Software Center and prompt you to install it.
- Use the terminal command: open the terminal and use the following command to install the deb file:
sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb
The package_file.deb is the name of the deb file you want to install.
- Install a deb file and resolve dependencies using terminal commands and the apt tool by following these steps: open the terminal and enter the command.
sudo apt install ./package_file.deb
