Lsd: dpkg: error on «Windows 10».

[rediffusion]

Aloha! 🙂

I have 💻 «Windows 10 2004» + _WSL_ + Windows Terminal + Ubuntu-20.04

running this but see the error:
sudo dpkg -i lsd_0.17.0_amd64.deb

dpkg: error: cannot access archive 'lsd_0.17.0_amd64.deb': No such file or directory

..._surfing_ in google this behavior but find nothing!

🆘 Can you HELP? Cheers!

We don't have a direct ubuntu package yet. You could try installing using snap.

snap install lsd

Or if that does not work out, you have to first download the actual file from releases page and call dpkg on that.

wget https://github.com/Peltoche/lsd/releases/download/0.17.0/lsd_0.17.0_amd64.deb -O /tmp/lsd.deb
dpkg -i /tmp/lsd.deb

Thanks a lot! What means parameter -O ?

Do I need to install Rust?

[meain]

-O specifies output filename. In this case we download to /tmp/lsd.deb and uses that file to install.

You need to install rust only if you are building from source.
In the case of dpkg, you are downloading and installing a prebuilt binary.

I find also this manual which possible to downloading with cargo. Do you recommend this manual?

cargo install lsd

[meain]

cargo is the rust package manager you are technically building from "source" in the manual method.

It is up to you too choose which method you go, both works. But if you don't intent on messing around with the code, I would suggest going with dpkg.
