Install dpkg on fedora machine

First of all check if dpkg is installed on your machine by typing the following on the command line

[root@localhost php]# dpkg

If dpkg is installed you will get some similar response

[root@localhost php]# dpkg
dpkg: need an action option
 
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL) [*].
 
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' !

If it is not installed one can install it using the following yum command

[root@localhost php]# yum install dpkg

Once it is installed one can open a .deb package using the dpkg commands.
