Installing a package from external storage (help needed)
Installing a package from external storage (help needed)
So, I have a device running stripped down Ubuntu and I wanna get tic80 on it, I have a copy on a flash drive but idk how to install it. The machine is pretty much CLI only
Hey man, we're living parallel lives. I literally just did this yesterday. The command you're looking for is gdebi. Try gdebi (name of the package's file, uncompressed to a .deb) if you downloaded the .Deb from the website. tic80 will now be a usable command. To uninstall the tic80 command / program you can use apt uninstall tic80. It worked with and without sudo.
gdebi, apt can also do this these days.
Did you try
sudo dpkg -i path/to/tic80-v1.1-linux.debWill try, once I find the filepath
If the device has network access, then you can just wget it and install it.
Its not on apt, I tried that
So, as I understand you, you've got a copy of
tic80-v1.1-linux.debon a USB stick and want to install this.After you've mounted the USB-drive,
cdto the directory where the downloaded deb-package is located. Then runsudo dpkg -i tic80-v1.1-linux.deb sudo apt -f installto install the package and missing dependencies.
