Installing a package from external storage (help needed)
So, I have a device running stripped down Ubuntu and I wanna get tic80 on it, I have a copy on a flash drive but idk how to install it. The machine is pretty much CLI only

Cool. Thank you. I haven't looked into the changelog ever. Obviously this works for quite a while now (~2017?) without moving the deb-file to
/var/cache/apt/archives/.Now I'm looking for the directory. Would a USB be in /home?
Its a clockworkpi os machine
That depends on how you have mounted the device, as this is usually not done automatically. As I understand, your system doesn't have a desktop environment. So the you need to search e.g. the output of
sudo dmesgafter plugging in the USB stick, there should appear s.th. like/dev/sdb1or alike. Then you can mount the partition e.g. to/mntdirectoryYou anyway can check the output of
mount(without arguments) if and where the device was mounted successfully.You later can safely unmount the USB stick by
I did sudo mount /dev/sda1 it returned this:
/dev/sda1: can't find in /etc/fstab
Yes, you need to specify the path where it should be mounted to. I proposed using
/mnt.Oh, thank you
Edit:
The solution worked, the software is for arm tho.
My dumbass water this time only to realise ita not riscv compatible
What kind of system do you have? I assumed it was a small RPi like device.
Its a uconsole r-01
As it is its kind of terrible but looks cool. Might upgrade to a cm4 but would like to use the machine
So you need to build from source, as I don't see a prebuild version for RISC-V on their Github-page. As your system probably is supposed to be slim, you can try cross building from source on another computer. But if you are interested in doing that, please ask in a separate post, as I've never done that.
So basically use the source code elsewhere? I'll ask later, thank you
