Ubuntu: how to Install and uninstall a ".deb" package

Question

I downloaded the ".deb" file of Microsoft teams. How can I install and uninstall the package on the Ubuntu system?

Answer 1

Here are the steps you need to follow to install/uninstall the downloaded Debian package.

• 'cd' to the folder where you downloaded the ".deb" file.
• To install, run the following command:

sudo apt-get install <package_name>

• To uninstall, run the following command:

sudo apt-get remove <package_name>

Comments

- "cd" to the folder where you downloaded the .deb file and then run "sudo dpkg -i <package_name>" to install the package.

- If "apt-get install <package_name>" does not work, try "apt-get install ./<package_name>"
E.g.
sudo apt-get install ./mypackage.deb
