Installing Dbvisualizer on Ubuntu
Since I changed from Windos to Linux Ubuntu I don’t have all of my dev tools installed. One of those tools is the great universal database tool called DbVis from Minq. Minq doesn’t deliver DbVis as synapt package so I had to find a alternative and since I’m not a Linux blackbelt I had to do some googling. I found this blog and this and this that gave me a hint of what to do. I have to call the alien.
- First download the Dbvisualizer as a rpm package from here.
- Now I have to install the alien.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install alien - Then convert the rpm package to a deb package with alien
$ sudo alien dbvis_linux_6_0_6.rpm - Next, install the debian package
$ sudo dpkg -i dbvis_6.0.6-2_i386.deb - Change directory to where it is installed
$ cd /opt/DbVisualizer-6.0.6/ - And run it
$ ./dbvis
I’ve made a link to your blog, with a translation of this useful tip. About installing dbvis on Ubuntu
