I am trying to install the FLUKA software from the binaries. The file for FLUKA and all its libraries were downloaded from the cern website in a .deb
format. That provided me with a .deb
file in the downloads folder that I then extracted to a folder I made named fluka
, and that folder contains 3 files as evident by this output of ls -la ~/fluka
:
total 20
drwxrwxr-x 4 moiz moiz 4096 4 april 11:03 .
drwxrwxrw- 17 moiz moiz 4096 4 april 11:03 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 moiz moiz 4096 30 march 20:15 control
drwxr-xr-x 4 moiz moiz 4096 30 march 20:15 data
-rw-r--r-- 1 moiz moiz 4 30 march 20:15 debian-binary
There isn't an installation file rather it was a binary package that needs to be executed to get the software.
When I try to generate the executables using the command dpkg -i ./fluka_4-3.2.x86-Linux-gfor9_amd64.deb
, I get an error:
root@moiz-VirtualBox:~# dpkg -i ./fluka_4-3.2.x86-Linux-gfor9_amd64.deb
dpkg: error: cannot access archive '/root/fluka/fluka_4-3.2.x86-Linux-gfor9_amd64.deb': No such file or directory
The binary is in 64 and required fortran which I have downloaded. However it still says file of directory not found.
I am new to Linux, so if there are any rookie beginner mistakes like not opening the terminal correctly or anything else please tell those too because its very likely its gonna end up being a dumb mistakes.
PS. I also have superuser privilages so its not that either. Given using the command sudo -i
and I am running Ubuntu in virtual box machine.
