So you have an .rpm package downloaded but have no clue how to convert it to .deb format and install on your Ubuntu? No worries, there’s a quick and simple solution to that problem.
First you need to install a few software packages that help you convert .rpm to .deb. Those are: alien, dpkg-dev, debhelper, build-essential.
Open your Terminal and type:
sudo apt-get update
That step helps pull in the latest required software repositories. Check on this site on more about software updates in Ubuntu.
Installation of the required packages:
sudo apt-get install alien dpkg-dev debhelper build-essential
Now you can do the conversion. From the same Terminal window, go to your Downloads directory (or wherever you downloaded the RPM package to). Execute like this:
sudo alien YOUR_INSTALLATION_NAME.rpm
When that’s done, you’ll have a .deb file with the same name. You can either double-click the newly created installation file from the file browser or simply install it from the Terminal:
sudo dpkg -i YOUR_INSTALLATION_name.deb
