Installing Third Party RPM Packages

One common universal type package is the *.bin self installing package. These are easily installed from a root terminal by navigating to the download target directory and typing the command;

Code: [Select]

./*.bin

 

...then pressing the Enter key.

Whether a driver or an actual application package, if it is an RPM package it can be installed using the command;

Code: [Select]

rpm -ivh <complete package name>

...or more simply, and especially if there are multiple packages involved;

Code: [Select]

rpm -ivh *.rpm

For a package that upgrades an existing installed package, the command would use the -U option;

Code: [Select]

rpm -Uvh *.rpm

The -U option can be used even when there is no known previous package to upgrade. If there is one present, it will be upgraded, if not, the new package will still be installed properly.

You can install flatpak packages instead of some packages that give errors.

sudo apt-get install flatpak

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

and example

flatpak install flathub org.onlyoffice.desktopeditors

flatpak install flathub com.wps.Office

To make dolphin the default file manager.,

~/.local/share/applications/tde-d3lphin.desktop

and

/opt/trinity/share/applications/tde/d3lphin.desktop

And change the line:

 Exec=d3lphin %i -caption "%c" "%u" 

To this:

 Exec=d3lphin %i -caption %c %u
