Re : Re : [debian-knoppix] Difference beetween .deb / .tar.gz



Hi,

If you have a Debian distribution and if you have the package on your disk, to install a .deb package you have only to type :
dpkg -i package_name.deb  (I hope you have the dpkg commad installed).


If you have a .tar.gz archive i.e. package-version.tar.gz
untar the package : tar xvpzf package.tar.gz
It should create a diretory package-version
cd to this directory : cd package-version
If there is a configure script : ./configure
Then : make
Then : make install

This is a quick and dirty way to install a package from source as your packages database will never known you have installed this package.
configure can accepts many options...

Salut Jean-Luc :)

But if I understood well... To install a .deb , I just have to go in
the package manner and add this one?  but how do I install something,
that I get in .tar.gz format? Is there something special to do?
