The common method of dpkg command in Linux

If Ubuntu is installing new software, there is already a Deb installation package (for example: Iptux.deb), but you cannot log on to the desktop environment. So how do you install it? The answer is: Use the dpkg command.

The dpkg commands are often formatted as follows:

The code is as follows:

sudo dpkg-i iptux.deb#

View the details of the Iptux.deb package, including the software name, version, and size (where-I is equivalent to –info)

The code is as follows:

sudo dpkg-c iptux.deb#

View the file structure contained in the Iptux.deb package (where-C is equivalent to –contents)

The code is as follows:

sudo dpkg-i iptux.deb#

Install Iptux.deb software package (where-I is equivalent to –install)

The code is as follows:

sudo dpkg-l iptux#

View information for the Iptux package (the software name can be viewed through the dpkg-i command, where-L is equivalent to –list)

The code is as follows:

sudo dpkg-l iptux#

View all files for the Iptux package installation (the software name can be viewed through the dpkg-i command, where-L is equivalent to –listfiles)

The code is as follows:

sudo dpkg-s iptux#

View the details of the Iptux software package (the software name can be viewed through the dpkg-i command, where-S is equivalent to –status)

The code is as follows:

sudo dpkg-r iptux#

Uninstall the Iptux software package (the software name can be viewed through the dpkg-i command, where-R is equivalent to –remove)
