Hi, I am a newbie and have never installed a .deb package by hand so I am a bit weary a to proper procedure. I understand the different steps involced in making the istallation feasible, but I am rather apprehensive as to what will happen after I complete the install. For example: If I do...
dpkg -i nmap_2.12-3.deb ...from a users home directory will it install it and configure it properly, or will it install it into that directory? I have read the man pages regarding this, but have been unable to determine if I am going to make a mistake. Is there anyone who can outline just the basics of the procedure and perhaps some pitfalls to watch out for. Thanks. sincerely, bwarsing.
