Help on 'install' Feta 1.4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 'install' command lets you install packages or package files onto
your Debian system. A package is a collection of files that makes up
a coherent whole - for example, a game along with its sounds and graphics,
or a word processor with a spell checker and fonts.
Feta is capable of installing packages in four different ways. First,
by downloading packages using APT. In this case, you need only give the
package name, and APT will download and install the latest version of
the package it can find. Second, Feta can install packages you have
already downloaded, which are usually .deb files. Third, if you have
the 'alien' package installed, you can install Red Hat Package files,
which end in .rpm. Fourth, if you give Feta a URL to install, it will
download that file and install it if it is a .rpm or a .deb file.
EXAMPLES
--------
To install the latest version of epic4 available:
# feta install epic4
To install a copy of rt-utils you have downloaded:
# feta install rt-utils_1.1.3-3_i386.deb
To install a URL:
# feta install \
ftp://ftp.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/ggz/libeasysock_0.3-1_i386.deb
To install an RPM file:
(This will take a long time, as the RPM must be converted to the .deb format)
# feta install abiword-gnome_0.9.4.1-1_i386.rpm
You can mix and match any of these:
(Running Feta with -i is an alias for 'install')
# feta -i epic4 abiword-gnome_0.9.4.1-1_i386.rpm rt-utils_1.1.3-3_i386.deb
OTHER REFERENCES
----------------
.deb files are installed using 'dpkg --install'. RPM files are converted
using alien(1), and installed using dpkg. Package names are downloaded using
'apt-get install'. Packages are downloading using wget(1). See dpkg(8) and
apt-get(8) for more information.
