Trying to install UPS software on Linux

Very newb question. I'm trying to install a CyberPower PowerPanel personnel on a new Debian install. I've never used Linux before and I'm stuck because there is no installation wizard pop up to kick off the install. I can see where I have downloaded the software package but don't know how to kick it off.

which is saying it's in " /home/jr/Downloads "

The instillation instructions say: In terminal, change current directory to package location and typing command in x64 Linux as:

" dpkg -i powerpanel_ver_amd64.deb "

but I think somehow it needs to be " sudo dpkg -i powerpanel_ver_amd64.deb "

Youve gotta replace the example with the actual name on your particular file.

So heres what you want to use:

sudo dpkg -i PPL_64bit_v1.4.1.deb

Also remember, commands are case-sensitive so upper and lowercase matter.

Also, you can tab to autocomplete the filename.

Thanks. I was able to do the right click and "Install Software" and that seems to have worked. I'm getting closer just need to see how to be able to talk to it through the command line now. I'll keep messing with it.

have you change the filename to the one you downloaded to see if it works?

I had a cyberpower... all I had to do was plug it in and it worked. Solus Plasma.

The main thing I'm wanting it to do is do the "soft shutdown". I know the battery will work until it runs out but I'm mostly needing to turn on the command to do a soft shutdown once the battery reaches a certain percentage.

Have you tried

sudo apt install ./ur_pkg_name ?

And of course, you have to open terminal inside downloaded directory.
