I downloaded deb-creator-i386 and it seemed to install. It is supposed to be a GUI for compiling and packaging. After install it says in order to run or execute the program or app, I have to do that with a command in terminal. Tried use ./. Did not work. I am using Lubuntu 16.04.

Calling dpkg -i deb-creator-i386.deb directly is not good idea because of dependencies.

Better ways are:

sudo apt-get install ./deb-creator-i386.deb

and GDebI:

sudo apt-get install gdebi gdebi-common
sudo gdebi-gtk ./deb-creator-i386.deb # GUI

or

sudo gdebi ./deb-creator-i386.deb # from terminal

After installation you can find its executable with

dpkg -L deb-creator-i386 | grep bin

You can install the deb file with apt in a terminal. Open a terminal an navigate to the foilder where the downloaded deb file was saved. Then install the deb file with the command:

sudo apt-get install ./deb-creator-i386.deb

Try typing this in the terminal,

Then hit Enter.
