Check out the related links for information on the differences between .rpm and .deb packages.
RPM packages are installation packages designed for Red Hat based system. They are similar to .exe files for Windows, and .deb files for debian systems.
DEB packages are packages made for Debian and Debian-based distributions.
There are several: .sh .bin .deb .rpm .py...
To install a Debian package use the Terminal... sudo dpkg -i yourFile.deb Note: deb packages are actually arpackages containing tar.gz packages, see the manuals of ar, tar and gzip for details.
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
