Description

Ubuntu supports .deb packages for installation. This allows to convert .rpm packages into .deb, and install them on Ubuntu.

Go wild here

sudo add-apt-repository universe #Add the Universe Repository
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install alien  #Install Alien package
sudo alien <name of package>.rpm   #Convert .rpm package to .deb
sudo dpkg -i <name of package>.deb #Install the Converted Package

Or directly install .rpm with alien:

sudo alien -i <name of package>.rpm    #Install RPM Package Directly Onto the System on Ubuntu
