    Howto install frostwire

    Hi,

    I used Frostwire for a long time in Kubuntu, but now I cannot get it installed

    I downloaded the deb from the frostwire site, opened it with qapt and get the error "cannot satisfy dependencies" but it does not specify what dependencies are needed.

    When I try to install it from the command line I get this
    marc@marcHP8470:~/Downloads$ ls fro*
    frostwire-6.2.2.all.deb
    marc@marcHP8470:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install frostwire-6.2.2.all.deb
    [sudo] password for marc:
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Unable to locate package frostwire-6.2.2.all.deb
    E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'frostwire-6.2.2.all.deb'

    I dont understand why apt-get says unable to locate packager frostw.....
    because it is in the directory downloads from where I start apt-get, and the name is correct because I did a copy/paste

    to install deb files you use dpkg
    Code:
    dpkg -i something.deb

      Thanks a lot, it is installed now.

      Strange, I always installed debs with apt-get install before, any ideas why this does not work anymore ?

        I guess my memory let me down, I went looking into an old post install script I made some years ago and indeed there was dpkg to install debs, and apt-get install to install from the repo's.

          apt-get install to 'pull and install' packages
          dpkg -i to 'install downloaded' packages
