Trying to convert/install .pkg file, help please

Post by srhode14 » Sat Sep 29, 2012 6:55 pm

I have a .pkg file which I downloaded from the internet, which I am trying to install. The software source (Microsoft) (yeah, I know, boo and hiss) says that this type of file is compatible with Mac, but I am trying to convert it to .rpm so that I may install it in Linux Mint. I

sudo apt-get install alien

, which downloaded and installed the alien package converter, and everything went smooth until I tried

, which returns «Unknown type of package, SDM.pkg.»

I have already tried downloading the Windows version and running it through Wine, which was unsuccessful as Wine couldn’t install the program. SDM stands for Secure Download Manager, which Microsoft issues through E-Academy and the Dreamspark program. Overall, its a terrible piece of software to download anything, but a partnership between University and Microsoft enables me to get a lot of free software. If anyone could help me in this matter, or tell me what I’m doing wrong, it would be graciously appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Would you recommend that I try again to run the windows file through Wine? (I think its a .msi file)

To repeat the earlier reply, with more details. Mac OS X is BSD based, with a different kernel. You would have to get the source code, modify it for the Linux kernel, then recompile. Alien won’t work for that translation. Alien is only for (possibly) conversion from a Linux .rpm (Red Hat Package Manager) style package to a .deb (Debian) style package manager, both of which are binary (pre-compiled), both of which are dependent on the same compiler, kernel source, & API which are different from the BSD compiler, kernel & API.

Your best bet, if you STILL insist on trying this ‘free’ software, would be to run a virtual machine instance of Windows and the Windows version of the software, since it won’t run under WINE. This would require an actual, licensed copy of Windows to install as a virtual machine.

Or dual-boot Windows & Linux.

To elaborate further: MSI = Microsoft installer is an engine for the installation, maintenance, and removal of software on windows systems

¶ Установка .apk пакетов

¶ Установка .pkg.tar.zst, .tgz, .tbz, .tbz2, .pkg.gz пакетов

Для установки .tgz, .tbz, .tbz2, .pkg.gz необходимо имеющийся пакет разархивировать с помощью утилиты tar:

#Для архивов сжатых с помощью GZIP (.gz, .gz2 и т.д.): tar -xvzf имя_файла #Для архивов сжатых с помощью BZIP (.bz, .bz2 и т.д.): tar -xvjf имя_файла #Для архивов сжатых с помощью XZ (.tar.xz, .txz): tar -xvJf имя_файла 

• x — извлечь файлы из архива;
• v — подробный вывод информации на экран;
• f — Обязательная опция. Если не указать, Tar будет пытаться использовать магнитную ленту вместо файла;
• z — обработать архив сжатый gzip’ом;
• j — обработать архив сжатый bzip’ом.

После выполнения команды, будет создан каталог с именем, идентичным названию пакета .

Переход в созданный каталог:

Далее, все зависит от того, как была собрана программа: в виде исполняемого файла , или в исходном коде .

Перед установкой прочитать инструкцию (README), которая присутствует в каждом архиве.

Если программа собрана в виде исполняемого файла , в папке будет находиться файл, с расширением .sh или же с названием необходимой программы (например, firefox). Его достаточно просто запустить на исполнение:

Если же программа представлена в исходном коде , выполнить следующие команды:

./configure # Поиск необходимых для компиляции библиотек и заголовочных файлов make # компиляция программы sudo make install # установка программы 

После установки выполнить очистку каталога от всех файлов полученных в результате компиляции:

¶ Пример установки

Для примера приведена установка GParted.

Клонируем актуальную версию GParted с GitHub:

git clone https://github.com/GNOME/gparted.git 

В файле README указаны необходимые зависимости для устанавливаемой программы, если они отсутствуют в системе, то их необходимо установить.

Далее следует запустить формирование установочного файла:

Затем необходимо запустить:

Программа GParted установлена.

How to install .pkg file in ubuntu?

According to wiki, .pkg is the Mac OSX-specific package type. As little (again, according to wiki) is known about the format, it is not surprising dpkg cannot support it.

If there are other versions of the software you have, other than the .pkg file, you should probably pick the .deb file. That would be handled by dpkg.

We cant install .pkg files in Ubuntu .Please find out windows version of application and we can install using Wine
