17.5.3 Installing Programs Distributed in Package Format
Of course, if the program is configured in a package format but is not registered in the package repository and distributed in a separate way, you can not use the APT tool "apt-get" command, and you have to use the low-level "dpkg" command.
[Command Format]
| dpkg [option...] -i directory/package-file dpkg [option...] --install directory/package-file |
[Command Overview]
■ This installs a specified package in the system.
■ User privilege -- Super user.
[Detail Description]
■ The package-file specified here is a file name that contains package information, not a package name, and usually has a ".deb" extension.
■ If "--recursive" or "-R" option is specified, specify a directory, not a specific file to package-file.
■ This action processes both "--unpack" and "--configure" action.
■ The install operation processes the next step:
■ Extract the control files for the new package.
■ If another version of the same package has been installed before installing the new package, run "prerm" script of the previous package.
■ If the package provides a "preinst" script, run the script.
■ Unpacks the package of the new file and backs up the old file so that it can be restored if the installation processing is wrong during the installation process.
■ If another version of the same package has been installed before running a new installation, run "postrm" script of the previous package. This script will be executed after "preinst" script of the new package is executed, and note that this is because new files will be written as soon as the old ones are deleted.
■ Configure the configuration for the package. See the description of "--configure" action for details on how this works.
[Main Option]
■ Action
| -i, --install package-file... | Install the package. If --recursive or -R option is specified, package-file must refer to a directory instead. |
| --unpack package-file... | Unpack the package, but don't configure it. If --recursive or –R option is specified, package-file must refer to a directory instead. |
| --configure package...|-a|--pending
| Configure a package which has been unpacked but not yet configured. If -a or --pending is given instead of package, all unpacked but unconfigured packages are configured. |
■ Option
| -R, --recursive
| Recursively handle all regular files matching pattern *.deb found at specified directories and all of its subdirectories. This can be used with -i, -A, --install, --unpack and --avail actions. |
[Used Example]
The following is an example of downloading the package file and installing it on the system to install <Mplayer> program.
