All programs in this Linux distribution, like Ubuntu, are installed from a special deb packet. It is this extension made use of. In different OS they may differ, for example, in Windows, familiar to all of us, are the special files .exe. As a rule, in an Ubuntu system to build the program from the repository is automatically downloaded and starts to install deb packages. But sometimes you have to install the program manually, for example if no Internet or installers very big size (in particular games).

Windows Users are probably accustomed to the latest fashion. Ie, just download the file with the correct extension, double click and follow the instructions, pressing the button “Next”. In the system “Linux” for such a method have their differences.

General guidelines

For proper search and install programs, we recommend the following steps:

1) Go to the app Center and try to find there the required program.

2) If failed to be detected by the standard source, you can visit the official website of the developers and see their repository to upload or link to PPA.

3) In the case where on the website they only offer to install the deb package, it is necessary to download and work with it further.

4) is such that you can only find the source codes, in this case, you will have to collect your own program.

Install deb

The best solution is to install deb packages from the repository only for the reason that in the future it will be much easier to update the program. Service on the organization updates in your system, you will find the latest version in an unattended mode.
