How to install deb on AlmaLinux 10

In this tutorial, we will explain how to install DEB on AlmaLinux 10 OS. A .deb file is a software package format primarily used in Debian-based distributions. A .deb file is a compressed archive that contains the program’s files, including installation scripts and metadata. Although the .deb files are a core part of Debian-based Linux distributions and are widely used in Debian and its derivatives, it is possible to install .deb packages on RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) distributions, such as AlmaLinux, CentOS, Rocky Linux, and Fedora.

Alien is a computer program that converts various Linux packages to .deb file formats. We can use alien to convert a .deb package to a different Linux package, such as .rpm, .tgz, or .slp. Since the .deb file format is used for Debian-based Linux distributions, and we want to install them on RHEL distributions such as AlmaLinux 10, we need to convert the downloaded .deb file to an .rpm package.
.rpm packages are used for RHEL-based Linux distributions; in our case, we need them for AlmaLinux 10. To achieve this, we will need to install the Alien software so we can do the conversion later. Alien is not included in the default repo of AlmaLinux 10. Full Story |
