Subject: [ubuntu-in] SOFTWARE INSTALLATION THROUGH CD-DVD-USB
SIR,
CAN WE INSTALL PROGRAMS FROM CD ,DVD, USB IN A UBUNTU SYSTEM COZ I HAVE
PC WORLD DVD
CONTAINS SOME LINUX SOFTWARE AND I CAN NOT ABLE TO INSTALL IT AS THAT WE DO ON
WINDOW SYSTEMS .
IS INTERNET IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET SOFTWARE INSTALLATION ON UBUNTU
LINUX SYSTEMS?
SANDEEP KUMAR
Yes, you can install software from anywhere just like Windows but the only
problem is there is not set standard for setup files found on the internet.
Technically there is one (*.deb) but nobody follows it, You’d find all sorts
of extensions like .bin .pkg .so .tar .gzip etc and there’d be a tutorial
somewhere on the internet for installing those, which you’d have to look for.
That’s why it’s always a good idea to install your software from Ubuntu
Software Centre, it’s a sort of App Store you’d find it in the main menu of
your OS. Just open it, search for the software you’re looking for and click on
install. You’re good to go.
In the internet speak, writing in ALL CAPS is considered as Shouting, so please
TURN THAT THING OFF!! :-)

Hardeep Singh
