Updated install instructions for Debian/Ubuntu #14

Closed tidux closed 6 years ago

tidux commented 6 years ago

Rather than instructing people to use gdebi or another graphical front end, use apt-get -f install to install missing dependencies, like so:

dpkg -i kawaii-player.deb && apt-get -f install

This is why the -f flag to apt-get install exists.

kanishka-linux commented 6 years ago

using 'apt-get -f' in order to install missing dependencies sometimes may break the system. It is pretty risky to use. I personally will not recommend anyone to do it on any debian based system. I think one should use it as a last resort. Installing package along with its dependencies simultaneously is the best way to ensure long term stability of system, that's why I recommended use of gdebi.

"sudo apt install /path/to/Deb" will still resolve the dependencies
