How do I install Scratch?

[Zonnebrillie007]

I´m new to xubunto, and I have downloaded Scratch. It is in the .deb format. How do I install this on my computer? You can find it on the website http://info.scratch.mit.edu/nl/Scratch_1.4_Download.

Thanks for your help!

Hello and welcome to the forums.

You didn't mention what version of xubuntu you are using. There is a PPA available for Natty (11.04) and below, but it hasn't been updated in a year. See: https://launchpad.net/~scratch/+archive/ppa.

To install the "Scratch_1.4.0.1-0ubuntu5_i386.deb" file from that webpage:
1. Download the file
2. From a terminal window:

sudo dpkg -i scratch_1.4.0.1-0ubuntu5_i386.deb

On my oneiric (11.10) system, there were no dependencies and it installed fine.

I used the code in the terminal but it didn´t work.
This was the screen I got.

I installed GDEBI from the ubuntu softwarecentrum on my computer and I installed Scratch succesful on my computer.

Thanks daddy for your help :P

Glad you got it worked out. As a quick note, the reason the command line didn't work is because you forgot the -i parameter.
