App installation Confusion

Post#1 by Nice » 01 Nov 2023, 01:23

Hello

I have downloaded KeepassXC and LibreOffice from Alien, 15.0 Slackware Version. I changed directory to Downloads and used "sudo installpkg" I got a message that both had been installed and they appeared in the menu, but when I clicked on them nothing happened.

What am I doing wrong?

hi Nice,sudo installpkg isn't the better way to install porteus packages,because if you don't have the changes activated your software run until the system run but you lost it at reboot you can download the software and convert to xzm and put on modules directory,but you can also follow Blaze advice.
