How can I install a .deb package in Ubuntu Linux
0
I'm trying to install BlueJ and this is what I did:
- I got my JDK and used
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdkin
the terminal to install it and that seemed to work. - I downloaded the BlueJ installer from this link which is for
Linux: http://www.bluej.org/download/files/bluej-314.deb
Other than doing this, I have no idea how to get it to run.
linux ubuntu deb

The package is definitely in Downloads. I entered sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/bluej-314.deb in the terminal and it did not give me an error. The thing is that I don't even know how to launch the program... I am really sorry for my confusion, thank you so much for the help

In Ubuntu you either press the Windows logo key (between Ctrl and Alt) or the top button on the launcher panel on the left edge of the screen. This opens "Dash". Then you start to type the name of the application to start. After selecting the correct application press enter.

Go to the directory in which you've downloaded BlueJ .deb file: (Assuming it's your Downloads folder)
cd ~/Downloads
Then do
dpkg -i filename.deb
Change filename with the name of your .deb file. If you still get an error saying no such file or directory, write ls and see if the .deb file is listed there.
