Hello everyone. I'm a new Linux user with Ubuntu Studio installed on my i3 desktop and have been viewing all the YouTube tutorials I can find. One of these demonstrates the Kawai synth emulator, K1v, which has a Linux version. I have a Windows background so I am confused/stumped by the Linux process for installing apps. This app is a .deb file. In the same way, I have no idea how to find other repositories to retrieve files they may have (that Ubuntu's may not). Can someone help or advise where I find help?
Thanks and best wishes.
Allen

Hi,
there are many ways you can install packages on your system.
For example you can install the .deb package using the therminal.
First open your terminal and go where you downloaded the file: for example, and then
If you want to use a graphical application you can use a tool like GDebi.
Just install it with your package manager or install it from terminal:

It's better to use apt these days as it will attempt to resolve any package dependencies if they exist:LAM wrote: ↑Sun Nov 08, 2020 8:31 am First open your terminal and go where you downloaded the file:for example, and thenCode: Select all

apt install ./packagename.deb
Gdebi will resolve dependencies too so it's probably the easiest way for a new user.
