Hi Team,
Is it possible to install .rpm files on Debian based distributions like Ubuntu ?
As we are are moving towards Ubuntu from Centos, need some help making opensearch work in Ubuntu.

As yum was not available , i installed it manually , but its failing with other dependencies for ex. /bin/sh

sudo yum install opensearch-2.0.0-rc1-linux-x64.rpm
Setting up Install Process

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I did check OpenSearch / OpenSearch Dashboards - DEB distribution (X64) · Issue #28 · opensearch-project/opensearch-build · GitHub to see the updates but looks like there is no ETA yet.

Is there a way i can make it work in Ubuntu until it deb package is released officially ?

Hello,

I have used YUM on Rocky Linux and Alma Linux distro’s. As for Ubuntu/Debian we used the following so far.

* wget https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/bundle/opensearch/1.3.0/opensearch-1.3.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
* tar -zxf opensearch-1.3.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
* ./opensearch-1.3.0/opensearch-tar-install.sh
