Installing .deb package on .rpm Based Linux for Server became relevant when we wanted to install OpenPanel on CentOS or any REHL Linux.Here is how we can do it. You can read the previous guide on how to Install Free Web Control Panel OpenPanel on Rackspace Cloud Server if you want to install OpenPanel on .deb based Linux Distro like Debian, Ubuntu etceteras. First we need to understand the basic problems what we face when are going to install .deb package on .rpm Based Linux for Server.

 

Installing .deb package on .rpm Based Linux for Server : Basics

 

Red Hat Package Manager or RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a package management system. In the same way, DEB is also a Package Manager. If you are new to Linux, it is probably better to read the basics of Linux and Linux Distros. Linux Kernel is distributed as fully free software. The Kernel is the same for RPM based and DEB based system, like the Kernel of OpenBSD and OS X are same. So, actually, if we have the source code of a program, we can compile it for either DEB based or RPM based system.

We want to avoid this specific App, but we want to say; if the binary is available, then we could compile it for RPM. If we do not get the source code or we do not have the ability to undergo through this process, there is another way – we can convert a .deb to .rpm and vice versa :

 

Vim

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/alien

 

We can just do these steps :

Vim
1
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/alien/alien_VERSION.tar.gz

Vim
1
tar xf alien_VERSION.tar.gz

Vim
1
cd alien

Vim
1
perl Makefile.PL; make; sudo make install

Vim

#To convert a .deb package to a .rpm package:

Vim
1
alien -r package.deb

Vim

To install the converted rpm package:

Vim
1
sudo yum localinstall package.rpm

 

For Ubuntu, we can install this package in one step :

 

Vim

sudo apt-get install alien
