I have a folder for the program "partimage", and I want to install partimage in Ubuntu 22.04.

The path to this extracted tar file is (I know it is case sensitive): /Home/Downloads/partimage/partimage-0.6.9.

Inside partimage-0.6.9 are all the files.

No matter how I try, using a path in the terminal, I cannot actually get to an executable file which does indeed install partimage. This includes changing directories to get through "Home" and "Downloads". Would someone give me an exact path to install this program from the command line (please assume my username is "robin")?

partimage is a partition imaging utility for backing up partitions into a compressed image file. partimage is a mature program that has been in the default Ubuntu repositories for a long time. On the other hand from partimage.org:

Partimage is no longer an active project. It is recommended to use alternatives such as fsarchiver, partclone, or filesystems tools such as xfsdump.

fsarchiver, partclone and xfsdump are all Ubuntu packages.

To install partimage on all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install partimage
