Ubuntu/Debian: Installing using an RPM file

Try this

--------------------------------------------------

$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install alien

$cd ~/Desktop

$sudo alien -k name-of-rpm-file.rpm

( This will convert the .rpm to a .deb on Desktop )

$sudo dpkg -i name-of-deb-file.deb

( This will install the .deb package )

--------------------------------------------------

Done!!
