How do I install and manage RPMs in Ubuntu
I can't open git-0.99.1.rpm. So, I need the rpm command to install git-0.99.1.rpm. Is there any supply for the rpm command in Ubuntu Linux? How can I install the git-0.99.1.rpm package?
Revolution R Enterprise is available as a red-hat rpm file. Normally I would use alien to install an rpm file as explained in another more generic question about installing rpms , but the instructions for installing this package have an install.py file that I am supposed to execute.
When I ./install.py, I get the following instructions:
rpm: please use alien to install rpm packages on Debian, if you are really sure use --force-debian switch. See README.Debian for more details.
There is no README.Debian file in the directory, and although I am not proficient in python, I can tell that there are at least four different directories with *rpm files in them.
Has anyone had success with this? If possible, I'd prefer to install the Enterprise version instead of community version in the Ubuntu repository so that I can test it out.
On a RedHat/CentOS system, I can verify the installed RPMs on my system using rpm -V.
What is the Ubuntu or apt equivalent of this command?
I have a burning desire to install RPMs onto my Ubuntu installation - is this possible? Can I use Yum - or another RPM Package Management tool?
