Hi there good folks,
I have a particular program that I’m trying to install and run on my system (Tracktion Waveform 12). For it I only have the .deb file (no other means available for the newest version).
Now, I can open the .deb file and enter data.tar.xz, and see that there’s a certain structure inside:
./usr/share
and four folders here, and
./usr/bin/Waveform12
(the program itself)
Now, I’m wondering where can I unzip these to make this program work? A user on another forum suggested I unzip them the /bin
in ~/bin
, but I don’t have such a folder in my home directory. Should I?
Or do I need to do something else? Where are the /usr
and /bin
replacements/symlinks located in Silverblue? At least for /share
there is ~/.local/share
, so that’s more or less recognisable.
Also, do I need to run the program through Toolbox in order for it to have access to folders etc.?
===============
ALTERNATIVELY:
Is there a way to just unload/unzip the .deb into a Flatpak of a previous version of the program and make it work that way? There’s a flatpak for it on Flathub, but it’s a few versions behind.
Thanks,
- A
