Software Installation under Ubuntu

1. Software Installation

The first step in the recent start of switching from Windows to Linux for PCs is to install some personal software that used to be installed with Yum or Apt-get before playing Linux.

Here's how to download a file from the official website and install it.

To install Google Browser as an example, first download the Linux version of the source files from the official website, generally down is the Deb file format.

Then use the following command:

Dpkg-i XX (here is your package name)

Then the installation process often occurs first, requires a certain dependency, resulting in the installation is not possible.

Install dependencies with the following command

Apt-get-f Install

After the successful installation has come, re-install the package by the first command, and then install the package successfully.

2, Software location view

Software installed through the DPKG command is installed to the location specified by the package.

Below we use the command to view the software installation location.

First of all, we need to know the specific name of the software installed, through the instruction Dpkg-l | grep XX (This can be part of the package name) parameter is lowercase l

Then get the full software name from the previous step, get the location dpkg-l YY (here is the full name of the software)
