How to Convert RPM to DEB

Converting RPM to DEB is not that hard in Ubuntu. All you have to do is to enter these commands in your terminal and your rpm files will then be converted into deb.

First, install Alien:

sudo apt-get install alien

After installing the program, you can now convert rpm to deb in this command:

sudo alien <./path/filename.rpm>

Alien is a program that converts between the rpm, dpkg, stampede slp, and slackware tgz file formats. If you want to use a package from another distribution than the one you have installed on your system, you can use alien to convert it to your preferred package format and install it.
