Installing a package from external storage (help needed)
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

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/sdb1-
I did sudo mount /dev/sda1 it returned this:
/dev/sda1: can't find in /etc/fstab
-
Yes, you need to specify the path where it should be mounted to. I proposed using
/mnt.
