App : GDebi, the GUI Installer for DEB packages !



Let's get this straight, sometimes it can be pain in the ass to install DEB packages. Windows user can just double click and press some random buttons to get their EXE installed. Well, who doesn't feel revenge on this ?

This is where GDebi is, it's a GUI client for DPKG. The main function is to install DEB packages, but it can also check depencies needed by DEB package itself. GDebi can install the DEB packages in one click, so you who put some revenge on Windows because of the EXE installer, you win.

For performance, GDebi give it smooth run to install your DEB packages. It also have double-click integration on some file manager (I tested it on PCManFM, it works. Even on Mozilla FIrefox and Chromium).

Installation :

It's pretty easy. On some distro, GDebi is available on official repository (example of this distro : Ubuntu derivatives, Debian, Linux Mint, etc). Just open your Terminal Emulator and type :
sudo apt-get install gdebi
