[SOLVED] Locating and installing alien to convert rpm to deb

[bigal]

Can anyone advise on how to get and install alien on my LM7? Every time I look for it I am offered a game.
I want to use it to convert a rpm package to deb. There is no deb available for the software that i need to install.

Thank you Mick55

I had tried that before but after reading your post I realised that I had to select "Name" from drop down list. I had accepted the default, which was why I was getting nowhere fast. Thanks to you I am sorted (for now)

I'll try to do better next time!

Now, how do I mark this post as "Solved"...........

Or:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install alien

To mark this as solved, edit your opening post and type [SOLVED] in the subject and then click submit.
