For all answers i found about this topic, the solution was to create, in a certain computer A where i need to install the package, a file containing all dependencies it needs and then downloading it in another computer, let's call it B. The thing is, i want to have a storage of certain critical software i need to work to be able to install them offline later on in case i have to format my desktop. I REALLY DON'T CARE about having a lot of redundant.deb files in my computer, and I REALLY DON'T CARE if i'm going to store 1gb of files to install a 10mb software.

I'm trying to install a package on a machine with no Internet connection. What I want to do is download all the packages and dependences on a machine WITH an Internet. Install.deb File with Dependencies in Desktop Environment. Install Vray Wibu Key more. Sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.620_all.deb apt-get install -f and bingo. How to install LAMP stack on. The website has a Ubuntu.deb. How to automatically fetch missing dependencies when. You can use apt-get -f install to install all the. Dpkg -i./foo-1.2.3.deb won't install these dependencies. Sudo gdebi package.deb In newer versions of Ubuntu, this is not installed by default.

So, i want to have any possible dependency downloaded. Is there someway i can do this?

Is this a one-time thing, or something you want to keep updated? Are you mostly working online, and just want a local backup of all your packages, just in case?

There are several services that you can install that act as an APT proxy/cache. You point APT at your local cache, it will download from the Internet, and keep a locally cached copy of all the packages. This can be very useful if you have lots of computers on your network with an identical selection of packages.

My prefered apt cache is, but there is also apt-cacher-ng, and a few others. Each has minor differences about how caching can be configured. I always use the minimal netinst installers to build my Debian based systems, which means my apt cache usually has almost all the packages to fully build my systems.

When you use apt to install a package, internally it uses dpkg. When you install a package using apt, it first creates a list of all the dependencies and downloads it from the repository. Once the download is finished it calls dpkg to install all those files, satisfying all the dependencies. So if you have a.deb file: • You can install it using sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file followed by sudo apt-get install -f. • You can install it using sudo apt install./name.deb (or /path/to/package/name.deb). With old apt-get versions you must first move your deb file to /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory. For both, after executing this command, it will automatically download its dependencies.

• Install gdebi and open your.deb file using it ( Right-click ->Open with). It will install your.deb package with all its dependencies. ( Note: APT maintains the package index which is a database of available packages available in repo defined in /etc/apt/sources.list file and in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory.

All these methods will fail to satisfy the software dependency if the dependencies required by the deb is not present in the package index.) Why to use sudo apt-get install -f after sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb/file (mentioned in first method). From man apt-get -f, --fix-broken Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place. When dpkg install a package and package dependency is not satisfied, it leaves the package in unconfigured state and that package is considered as broken. Sudo apt-get install -f command tries to fix this broken package by installing the missing dependency. Here's the best way to install a.deb file on Ubuntu on the command-line: sudo gdebi skype.deb If you don't have gdebi installed already, install it using sudo apt install gdebi-core.
