So, I have a device running stripped down Ubuntu and I wanna get tic80 on it, I have a copy on a flash drive but idk how to install it. The machine is pretty much CLI only
Hey man, we’re living parallel lives. I literally just did this yesterday. The command you’re looking for is gdebi. Try gdebi (name of the package’s file, uncompressed to a .deb) if you downloaded the .Deb from the website. tic80 will now be a usable command. To uninstall the tic80 command / program you can use apt uninstall tic80. It worked with and without sudo.
gdebi, apt can also do this these days.
Did you try
sudo dpkg -i path/to/tic80-v1.1-linux.debWill try, once I find the filepath
If the device has network access, then you can just wget it and install it.
Its not on apt, I tried that
So, as I understand you, you’ve got a copy of
tic80-v1.1-linux.debon a USB stick and want to install this.After you’ve mounted the USB-drive,
cdto the directory where the downloaded deb-package is located. Then runsudo dpkg -i tic80-v1.1-linux.deb sudo apt -f installto install the package and missing dependencies.
Apt can install a .deb and its dependencies in one go.
Cool. Thank you. I haven’t looked into the changelog ever. Obviously this works for quite a while now (~2017?) without moving the deb-file to
/var/cache/apt/archives/.Now I’m looking for the directory. Would a USB be in /home?
Its a clockworkpi os machine
That depends on how you have mounted the device, as this is usually not done automatically. As I understand, your system doesn’t have a desktop environment. So the you need to search e.g. the output of
sudo dmesgafter plugging in the USB stick, there should appear s.th. like/dev/sdb1or alike. Then you can mount the partition e.g. to/mntdirectorysudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mntYou anyway can check the output of
mount(without arguments) if and where the device was mounted successfully.You later can safely unmount the USB stick by
sudo umount /dev/sdb1I did sudo mount /dev/sda1 it returned this:
/dev/sda1: can’t find in /etc/fstab
