Install Deb Package On Arch Linux Virtualbox _VERIFIED_

Warning: This method is highly unsafe and should only be used when there is no other option and you already have an advanced understanding of how certain packages work and certain behaviors that Arch expects. For example, some applications (like Plymouth, Virtualbox, etc.) may require hooks into the kernel that can only be done by editing configuration files and re-building the kernel with those hooks. Even more, using this method does not also install the dependencies of your package.
Then, run the ls command to reveal all of the folders that reside in the data archive inside the Deb package. Keep in mind the names of these folders. cd into each directory and move the contents of these directories to where they belong on the system.
Debtap grabs the metadata available in the .deb file to construct the most faithful Arch package possible to minimize issues and provide relevant information on which dependencies pacman should install in addition to the package itself. This involves a significant amount of tedium beyond simply decompressing a tarball.
Yes! If you have any version of pamac installed, you can run the tar-zst file Debtap generates through your file manager. By choosing pamac as the program to run the file, you can just double-click it just like you would any .deb package in Debian to install it and all of its dependencies automatically.
To compile the VirtualBox modules provided by virtualbox-host-dkms, it will also be necessary to install the appropriate headers package(s) for your installed kernel(s) (e.g. linux-lts-headers for linux-lts). [1] When either VirtualBox or the kernel is updated, the kernel modules will be automatically recompiled thanks to the DKMS pacman hook.
virtualbox-host-modules-arch and virtualbox-host-dkms use systemd-modules-load.service to load VirtualBox modules automatically at boot time. For the modules to be loaded after installation, either reboot or load the modules once manually; the list of modules can be found in /usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox-host-modules-arch.conf or /usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox-host-dkms.conf.
It is also recommended to install the virtualbox-guest-iso package on the host running VirtualBox. This package will act as a disc image that can be used to install the guest additions onto guest systems other than Arch Linux. The .iso file will be located at /usr/lib/virtualbox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso, and may have to be mounted manually inside the virtual machine. Once mounted, you can run the guest additions installer inside the guest.
In order to avoid having to install the guest system manually, some operating systems support unattended installation. This allows the user to configure the system to be installed in VirtualBox's interface prior to starting the machine. At the end of the setup process, the operating system is installed without requiring any further user interaction. This feature requires the virtualbox-unattended-templatesAUR package.
The Oracle Extension Pack provides additional features and is released under a non-free license only available for personal use. To install it, the virtualbox-ext-oracleAUR package is available, and a prebuilt version can be found in the seblu repository.
Then, install the virtualbox-guest-utils package. It will make you choose a package: either virtualbox-guest-modules-arch or virtualbox-guest-dkms. The Arch Linux wiki recommends choosing the virtualbox-guest-modules-arch package if you use the Linux kernel and virtualbox-guest-dkms for others kernels like LTS. Again, I use the linux-lts kernel so I needed to install the virtualbox-guest-dkms package.
Note: The package architecture has to match the Linux kernel architecture, that is, if you are running a 64-bit kernel, install the appropriate AMD64 package (it does not matter if you have an Intel or an AMD CPU). Mixed installations (e.g. Debian/Lenny ships an AMD64 kernel with 32-bit packages) are not supported. To install VirtualBox anyway you need to setup a 64-bit chroot environment.
Download the vbox ExtPack from Oracle and check the sha256sum: -downloads.html _VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-7.0.6.vbox-extpack Now check the same file/version in the virtualbox-ext-oracle build directory, verifying it's the same.Edit the PKGBUILD sha256sums to the checksum you just verified.Either manually build with the edited PKGBUILD using makepkg or use your AUR helper if it has that capability.If you see something similar to this, you can now install it with pacman.
Thanks @nelg. I was stuck with my system update with errors and found your comment here. I tried running it and the last command to install this package again, yay virtualbox-ext-oracle, is failing with:
If you do find what you need but only have the deb package, you may want to try installing that deb package on your Arch system. There are multiple approaches that you could take to install a deb package on Arch Linux:
The .deb files are the software package format used by Debian and its derivatives such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, elementary, etc. These files are archive files consisting of control and installation packages. Any source code can be packaged as .deb using certain methods, and the output file can be installed in target systems provided dependencies are satisfied.
Uninstalling an installed deb package requires the actual installed package name. And that is different (in most cases) than the actual .deb file name. So, to find out the installed package name use the following command.
Also, as the last step, you can use the autoremove of apt package manager to remove any unwanted package that may have been there in your system when you installed the package using the above commands,
Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, and related distributions you should try to runmake package-install which will install dependencies, build the source,produce rpms for the current platform and install them in the end.

You can't. Arch does not use the apt package system unlike Debian-based linuxes, like Ubuntu. Instead it uses the pacman package manager. However, you should try it out. Using pacman myself, I never had a problem with it, and you can still use it in order to install packages that you can get with the apt package manager.
aurman is a nice wrapper that also searches and installs from AUR. yaourt used to be popular but according to the AUR wiki it is insecure and not featurefull. aurman cli works almost exactly like pacman so you can follow a pacman guide just the same. To get aurman:
Arch Linux does NOT use apt or apt-get, instead, however, it uses pacman. the syntax for pacman is quite different than apt-get; it uses -S to install packages instead of install. eg: sudo pacman -S [package].
I'm a fan of fine tuning, so out of all of those I'd have to pick Arch. Start at a minimum and install only what you'll use. Arch also has the most up to date packages, which can be very important on a development machine. If you want to be very productive and minimalistic, check out a tiling window manager like xmonad, ratpoison, or awesome. Once you learn the keyboard shortcuts of the window managers and your editor, you're like a black hole of productivity. Your hands never really have to leave the keyboard and everything is very customizable.
I am considering packaging a Python program for Arch Linux to be distributed with the AUR. I have created a PKGBUILD file that I can use with makepkg to build the package. The package builds and installs fine on my machine, but that doesn't seem very robust since if a dependency is missing from the PKGBUILD but already installed on my machine I will miss it.
The best way to test, in my experience, is have a clean virtual machine on which you can install the package. For that I use VirtualBox, with a snapshot of a fresh installation. After testing I roll back to the snapshot point, and have a fresh installation in a matter of seconds.
The DEB files are an installable software package format used by Debian and its derivatives, such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc. They contain precompiled software ready to be installed on Debian or a Debian-based operating system.
When you use APT to install a package, dpkg is used under the hood. But APT first generates a list of all dependencies before downloading it from the repository. Then, when the download is complete, APT invokes dpkg to install all dependencies.
In this article, I have shown you how to install VirtualBox from the official package repository of Arch Linux using the Pacman package manager. I have also shown you how to automatically load the VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv on boot and add your login user to the vboxusers group. I have shown you how to install the VirtualBox Extension Pack as well. About the authorShahriar ShovonFreelancer & Linux System Administrator.

You can download source code packages and Windows installers which are automatically created each time code is checked into the source code repository. These packages are available in the automated build section of our download area.
For installing VirtualBox on your Linux distribution, go to the download page and get the right package. There you will find packages for Oracle Linux, RHEL, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, openSUSE y Fedora. 2b1af7f3a8
