RPM

Is there an easy way to install RPM packages?

Thank you

Hi,

you can use "Alien" to convert RPM packages into .deb files and install them that way!.

Frontend GUI for Alien here, I have never used this so use at your own risk!!!!!!!!:

But first I would search for .deb packages here:

Be sure to look at the Ubuntu lists carefully though, "all.deb" work on both 32 and 64 Bit systems!.

Zorin is based on ubuntu and ubuntu is based on debian.
This is why it is advisable to install .deb packages rather than any other rpm package as it may not contain the necessary dependancies for your system.

What is the program you are trying to install?
