Another type of package is the <emphasis>Red Hat Package Manager</emphasis> (RPM) file. These have the <filename class="extension">.rpm</filename> suffix. It is not recommended to install these on an Ubuntu system. In almost all cases, a native Ubuntu <filename class="extension">.deb</filename> package is available. However, if absolutely necessary, an <filename class="extension">.rpm</filename> file can be converted to a <filename class="extension">.deb</filename> package using the <application>alien</application> application. The resulting <filename class="extension">.deb</filename> file can be installed as described above.
