Please note, if you are using this method to convert our linux installer, that we're unable to provide any support with the installation or any errors that occur. This is an unsupported method which is used at your own risk.
RHEL doesn’t ship Alien, but you can install it from EPEL.
sudo dnf install epel-release
sudo dnf install alien rpm-build dpkg
sudo alien --to-rpm package-name.deb
This creates a file like:
package-name-1.0-2.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh package-name-1.0-2.noarch.rpm
It performs basic translation of package metadata and structure.
Complex Debian packages with tricky dependencies or post-install scripts might not translate perfectly.
Always test the resulting rpm on a non-production system first.
