if you want to split download & install, run apt-get download as USER
not as root. Then, later, install with apt -i ./my-unsafe-deb-file.deb
Do such things better in a separate VM :)
Thank you for your reply. I'm rather inexperienced with Linux and these
sorts of issues. Could you give me the format of the command I need to
input? Also, I did not download google earth pro with apt at all,
instead, I downloaded it manually off the website and then tried to
install it. Does that affect your advice at all? Thank you and be well.
you can install any .deb file like that. Download whatever (zoom,
google-earth..) deb file in your unsafe VM, then open terminal and launch
sudo apt install some-path/filename.deb (*)
(don't copy (*)). Technically you can do this in a templateVM (with some
extra complications since no netVM in templates), but unless you use the
software every day & reboot often that is not my favourite solution.
Instead, I run it *once* in the AppVM: now, often apt needs to install
dependencies along with it. Copy the list of needed packages (or write
them down) and install all of them with
apt-get install PACKAGE
in your templateVM. These library files are clean and safe (a priori).
Now, once you reboot your AppVM the App is gone, but re-installing it
with the command (*) takes 15 secs and you data (logins, config files)
will survive from one install to the next.
Advantage of this procedure: no template is possibly breached with the
unsafe .deb file. Disadvantage: you loose 15 secs at every reboot of the
AppVM for reinstalling. For me its worth the pain.
