How to get RPM install in my Ubuntu Linux system? [duplicate]
Here is how you can install RPM packages on Ubuntu:
Convert RPM package to *.deb using alien and install it afterwards, i.e.
- Install alien (and deps), its available in Debian, Ubuntu repository:
sudo apt-get install alien dpkg-dev debhelper build-essential
- Convert rpm package using command
sudo alien -k --scripts some-rpm-package.rpm
- Install it using this command
sudo dpkg -i some-rpm-package.deb
You don't use rpms on Ubuntu -- you use apt. Just type
sudo apt-get install git
and you'll be all set!
