How do you install an RPM package in Ubuntu?

Generally speaking, you do not need to install RPM packages in Ubuntu. These are designed for other types of Linux distributions that use a slightly different way of installing software. The programs necessary to install such a package are not found on an Ubuntu system. Most programs that could be found in an RPM package are also available either in a .deb package (which you can install on Ubuntu) or in Ubuntu's repository, where it can be installed via Synaptic.If you absolutely need to, you can convert RPM packages by using a program called "alien." This converts the RPM package into its .deb equivalent. Note that this doesn't always work, and the installation could break your system in rare circumstances. To convert the RPM package and install the program, use the following commands:sudo alien -k rpmpackage.rpmsudo dpkg -i debpackage.deb
