Portableapps linux11/18/2023 ![]() ![]() So, get online and use Software Center at your friends. Do your friend have a 64 or 32-bit Ubuntu? Which version? 10.04 Lucid, 10.10 Maverick, 9.10? Is it Ubuntu or Debian (or Mint)? Are you going to download each and every possible combination? That truly makes no sense at all. So, there's no such thing as "full VLC install".īesides, there's a VLC "main" package for each Ubuntu system and architecture. That's what the internet APT-GET is all about: it checks what a given software needs for THAT machine in particular, and downloads and installs only the necessary missing stuff. Linux works in a different way than windows: most packages depend on other system packages and tools that other systems may or may not already have. There's no way you could download all the possible-necessary packages for any computer. And there's no way for you to know that a given system is "VLC-ready" will all the dependencies pre-installed. If your friend does not have all the packages that VLC depend upon already installed, he WILL need internet anyway to download and install them. Simple as that.īut, i strongly recommend against doing so. ![]() It will open a windows telling you about the program, and, if all dependencies are satisfied, you can click "install". DEB package file, copy it to a USB pendrive or CD, and then install at your friend's house, even if he doesnt have internet. ![]()
