I'm using a special program that has only .rpm version available as installer. As I need to run it on Ubuntu, Is there a way to install it in Ubuntu?

Which program is it? You can always try and convert it using alien in command line.

With alien you can convert from/to rpm/deb/tgz/slp.

The process is pretty straightforward:

sudo alien myfile.rpm

I think it will also attempt to install it.

If you don't have Alien installed, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below.

sudo apt-get install alien
