How do I install a batch of .deb files in Tahrpup? (Solved)

#1 Post by wert »

I have tried

Code: Select all

petget  *.deb
but it seems it only does one file and then exits.
Specs:
Distro: tahrpup 6.0.2

Hello,

Unpack all of them into a directory and simply copy...

Code: Select all

 find . -name "*.deb" -exec undeb {} \;

Do you know alien2puppy script? It's still working and sometimes I use it.

Another script for deb packages is PADS:

With new PPM you can only download without installing a lot of deb files and put them in single package after tweaking /usr/share/applications/... desktop file.

No need to start a new thread for the same issue. Installing a batch of deb files is no different than installing a single deb file. All it takes a command in a terminal:
1) Install a single deb:

Code: Select all

dpkg -i one_single.deb
2) Install a batch of debs:

Code: Select all

dpkg -i *.deb
I tried to help you in your original thread here:

by pointing to this thread that discusses your issue (just different deb names) in great detail:

Installing debs is a trivial task. The big question is how to satisfy the dependencies for your debs.

Are you sure that works? dpkg doesn't work my friend that's why there's petget. What puppy version are you using man?
