Alien is a commandline tool, but don't worry it really is easy - just one or two simple steps, nothing to worry about. Wolfmann has already posted an article with a link to the information you need Wolfmann article. I'm going to show you how to use Alien to make the conversion. However, a program called "Alien" provides a simple way to convert rpm packages to deb packages that works for some (but not all) rpm packages, fortunately it works for the ProjectLibre rpm. Debian uses the "deb" package system, which is incompatible with "rpm" packages which come from the Red Hat Linux branch of the Linux family. Ubuntu-Mate is an Ubuntu derivative, and Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian. So you can download an "rpm" package - how do you install that? I'm guessing that there's no "deb" package because of the license incompatibility. However, to quote Wikipedia once again, "The Debian project found the license to be incompatible with its Free Software Guidelines because of its attribution requirement." When you go to the ProjectLibre website there is only an "rpm" package available for Linux. ProjectLibre is released under the Common Public Attribution License (CPAL) wikipedia CPAL and thus qualifies as Free Software GNU CPAL license. deb you can skip a lot of what follows and continue at "INSTALLING THE DEB PACKAGE". deb package which can be easily installed after downloading (right click on the file an choose "install with Gdebi").Īfter downloading the. I recommend ProjectLibre as your first choice project management software for Linux. Also Planner can do the simpler things, but ProjectLibre goes much further. You will have problems running the Windoze version (we have tried this at my place of work without reaching a "usable" result) and that's when the Redmond fan club will give up on it. Well Planner is good as far as it goes, but despite their being a Windoze version it is not really cross platform. You could use "Gnome Planner" from the repositories. Why do you want to install ProjectLibre in the first place? ProjectLibre runs on the Java Platform, allowing it to run on the Linux, Mac OS or MS Windows operating systems

It intends to be a complete desktop replacement for Microsoft Project. ProjectLibre is a project management software system. See wikipedia ProjectLibre and the ProjectLibre website
