Alexis's HelpMe Pages: Linux Sysadmin Tasks: Software Management: Installing Debian Packages

If it is known that there are no prerequisite packages (dependencies) for a particular package, then the particular package can be installed with the command:

unix# dpkg --install filename

Note that Debian package names always end with extension 'deb'.

f the package does have dependencies, then it is considerably easier to use the command 'dselect'.

Note that packages by Alexis have no dependencies.
