00:00hello everybody i found this cool piece of software that may be useful for most of you

00:08it helps converting and installing automatically any debian package whether from the repositories

00:17of debian and the distributions that are based on it from a specific url even if it is not a

00:26repository or from a local file it's worth installing and trying let's jump into the

00:35installation and use together there are some limitations that need to be taken into consideration

00:46the first one is the weak dependency resolution here it says that no dependency resolver but actually

00:56it resolves some of the dependencies and doesn't for the others so you need to keep that in mind

01:02in case you have a package that has a lot of dependencies the second one it gets confused

01:08whenever there is more than an instance more than an instance of xdeb it depends on xdeb when it

01:17does the conversion when it comes to the installation of this piece of software there are three methods

01:24as mentioned in the documentation the first one is by making an extra repository should be under

01:40etc xbps slash etc slash xbps dot d let's make it together

01:47you make a file there and you add this line to it like this save and exit and then we should

02:04synchronize the repositories like this

02:17here it is for you if it is your first time adding this repository you should get confirmation

02:26about the signature you need to double check it double check the fingerprint if it is exactly the same

02:33and then press y if it is and then you're you're ready to install xdeb install like this y and enter

02:47and now we can clear out the screen it is installed i believe i have xdeb here yes here it is and it is

02:56recommended that i do not keep it since xdeb install is gonna get confused with it uh we are not we should

03:05run xdeb install xdeb xdeb install xdeb that's how it depends on this

03:26this tool that we're trying to use and install depends on the famous tool if you

03:39if you know it xdeb which does almost the same thing but with less automation and less steps

03:48the other steps you do them manually let's clear out the screen i don't think you need to worry about

03:54that error now the first thing to mention with this piece of software and it is so cool at least for me is

04:07to take a look at the providers like this install providers this should give us

04:15almost all the official repositories of the famous debian based distributions you can see here we have

04:24linux min debian ubuntu even for some for some third-party repositories like

04:34microsoft i believe this is for vs code if i'm not mistaken and google i'm not sure if it is only for

04:41google chrome and vs code only or for other pieces of software you can see that we have them here we can

04:49sync these repositories like this sync

04:56to get the newest versions of the apps the repositories are synced i'm talking here about debian

05:06and derivatives uh we can install from whichever of them almost any piece of software so far uh let's try

05:19installation

05:24we've seen this

05:28i guess we should keep that list in front of us xbpx deb

05:32install providers you're gonna see why we need to keep them in front of us if we want to search for

05:42example for any piece of software we can try by running the command xbp-install search let's say we want to look

05:55for

06:01aptitude

06:03although we cannot install this piece of software since it's not related to

06:08xbps at all we just want to do the search and see what we get we should find it

06:15and we can see that it exists on all of these repositories let's get the providers again and

06:33if we want to install from one of them i try to install this piece of software in it

06:39and it is a dependency for an application that i tried to install in my previous attempt for this

06:46video and it didn't go well here we have the provider ubuntu.com which is the domain name for ubuntu

06:57repositories servers and whatnot the distribution is jammy let's try for example with bitpy top

07:08i don't have bpy top installed we can install it from there bpy top

07:26it will resolve some of the dependencies in some cases

07:30and i tried this before and it worked y and enter sometimes it doesn't have dependencies which is

07:39better let's clear out the screen and try to run bpy top

07:46and it works as you can see this is not from the official repositories of void you can

07:52actually install it from there it exists we just wanna try and see what we get we can remove it using the

08:03native method of void like this yes i wanna remove it

08:16let's try to install from a link let's say you have a specific link of a debian package

08:26and you wanna install it using xdeb install i can tell you that and it's gonna work

08:35yeah so let's install from a specific link and the example they gave is sufficient for me for you

08:44you may try with another thing but be careful in case there are many dependencies the installation may

08:51work but the application may not work

08:56y enter here all right

09:01this ssh is with x forwarding the application is speed crunch let's run it speed crunch

09:12and it should work if we it's an it's a math application if we type pi times two we get that result

09:27if we try to type e we get its result

09:32and we have some of the stuff that is related to physics like electron volt etc

09:53the exponential of 10 is that value this thing works

09:57the last thing that we need to try here is installing from a local file and here it should be a debian

10:11file of course i guess i will in i will download the package and install it with you

10:20i have the debian package ready on my machine let's try to install it locally

10:29file bpy top it's nothing but bpy top itself y and enter bpy top and it works

10:50so that was xdeb install thank you for watching please don't forget to subscribe like share and comment
