This should be a shorter variant for the same thing: #!/bin/sh cd /home/dan/Downloads/OOo/OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_en-US.9502/DEBS sudo dpkg -iR *.deb or #!/bin/sh cd /home/dan/Downloads/OOo/OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_en-US.9502/DEBS sudo dpkg --install --recursive *.deb This is so short that i script is really not necessary. Just cd to the right directory (DEBS) and type: sudo dpkg -iR *.deb Or add an alias in your .bashrc file (or to a separate alias file if you have one, just remember to run it from .bashrc) like this: alias installooo="sudo dpkg --install --recursive *.deb" Then you install like this: cd <the search path to the DEBS directory> installooo Johnny Rosenberg > > > Notes: > 1) First I download the file into /home/dan/Downloads/OOo.
