Error trying to install Tracktion Installer on Ubuntu

[mpoirier]

Like everything else on Ubuntu, the install is giving an error but no explanation...

Tried:

michel@PC-LINUX:~/Downloads$ sudo apt install tracktion_download_manager_v1.5.3.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package tracktion_download_manager_v1.5.3.deb

michel@PC-LINUX:~/Downloads$ sudo install tracktion_download_manager_v1.5.3.deb
install: missing destination file operand after 'tracktion_download_manager_v1.5.3.deb'
Try 'install --help' for more information.

michel@PC-LINUX:~/Downloads$ sudo snap install tracktion_download_manager_v1.5.3.deb
error: cannot install "tracktion_download_manager_v1.5.3.deb": invalid instance name: invalid
instance key: "download_manager_v1.5.3.deb"

And a few other combinations...

This is so much easier on Windows. Very frustrating !

Your command is wrong. You need to place " ./ " in front of the deb file name.
Try this:

Code: Select all

cd /into/the/dir/where/the/deb/is/located
sudo apt install ./tracktion_download_manager_v1.5.3.deb

Thanks ! I eventually was able to install Waveform. But spent the rest of the day trying to get a sound out from the app. Tried JACK and ALSA innumerable amount of options without success.

I am finally deleting that second Ubuntu partition...
