I'm trying to install a package I downloaded...it's K3b-2.0.3a.tar.xz It's located in /home/crazylarry/downloads
I typed in the terminal sudo apt-get install K3b-2.0.3a.tar.xz but all I got was a message that it couldn't find it so do I need to include the path in the command or do I need to do something different?
Thanks to anyone who can help. This is my first time at the rodeo.

Hi,
Not sure how to install the latest, but a version of K3b is available by going into:
Menu > System > Install/Remove Software
Then use search for k3b and then right click, mark for install
It looks like it will install a huge amount of dependencies and bloat your install.
Somebody might suggest a "Lite(er)" option.

Just a friendly hint. Get out of the Windows/Mac download software mindset.

Yes. A whole lot for K3b the way you want to install it. Google install source file in Ubuntu.
Easy way to install K3b.
Menu>System>Install Packages. Password. In synaptic. Look for K3b.
I don't use it because xfburn suffices for me.
Code:
harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:~$ apt search k3b

Hello!
Seems like ANYTHING 'K' installs a boatload of KDE dependencies...

You guys are right.....I don't really need that heavy bloated stuff. After I marked everything to download I decided not to install it.
So thanks again.
