Convert RPM to DEB in Ubuntu

Many Linux distributions use .RPM files, like Red Hat and Fedora.
There is a great program to convert RPM's into DEB's, Alien.

 

To install Alien, Go to Terminal and type

sudo apt-get install alien


Once installed, you can convert the RPM file like:

sudo alien -k FileName.rpm


To then install the DEB file, you can either double click on it or run the command:

sudo dpkg -i FileName.deb


Or another way to convert and then install straight after, you can run the following command:

sudo alien -i FileName.rpm
