Ubuntu MATE’s Lead Creates a Nifty Tool to Help Install 3rd Party Deb Packages
|
||||
======
|
||||
An interesting tool to replace apt-get for 3rd party .deb packages on Ubuntu. It should help you save time!
|
||||
|
||||
![deb get][1]
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu MATE’s lead,**Martin Wimpress,** has another fun project for Linux users.
|
||||
|
||||
In case you did not know, Martin regularly develops something interesting. Last year, we covered [Quickemu][2], which helps create virtual machines in Linux through a QEMU-based GUI tool making the process easy.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, he is back with an interesting “**deb-get**” tool that aims to imitate the functionality of “**apt-get**” for 3rd party .deb packages.
|
||||
|
||||
Let us take a closer look at it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Deb Get: Seamlessly Install 3rd Party Deb Packages Using the CLI
|
||||
|
||||
When it comes to software packages that aren’t available in the official repositories (like Google Chrome, Vivaldi), you will have to [add a PPA (unofficial/official)][3] or download the .deb file and [get it installed][4] manually.
|
||||
|
||||
What if you can simply install it using the terminal as if it is available in the official repositories?
|
||||
|
||||
That’s where the deb-get tool comes in.
|
||||
|
||||
Usually, when installing a package through the terminal, you utilize either of the following commands:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt install packagename
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt-get install packagename
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You get to keep the same format and simply replace apt-get with this tool, which should look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo deb-get install packagename
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
As an example, usually, we needed to add the PPA or download the deb file when [installing Vivaldi on Linux][5].
|
||||
|
||||
Now, if you set up the deb-get tool on your system**(setup instructions at the end of this article**), you can easily install Vivaldi using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo deb-get install vivaldi-stable
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
And, just like the apt-get upgrade process, you can upgrade packages using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo deb-get upgrade
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** While it makes it easy to install third-party .deb packages, you will be limited to a verified list supported by the tool. You can expect the list of supported packages to expand soon, but it already supports many [essential applications.][7]
|
||||
|
||||
You can also check the list of available packages that you can install with deb-get using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo deb-get list
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
![deb-get][8]
|
||||
|
||||
### Setting Up Deb-Get on Ubuntu-based Distributions
|
||||
|
||||
The deb-get tool works with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (I tested it) and should work with other Ubuntu-based distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
You can install it on your system using the command below:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt install curl && curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wimpysworld/deb-get/main/deb-get | sudo -E bash -s install deb-get
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or, you can download the deb package for it manually from its [GitHub releases section][9].
|
||||
|
||||
To explore more about it, and the available commands/functionalities, you can head to its [GitHub page][10].
|
||||
|
||||
*What do you think of deb-get attempting to mimic apt-get functionality for third-party packages? Do you think it is useful? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.*
