Can anyone explain what I do with a .deb package on ubuntu?  I can install it with

sudo dpkg -i hppcoin_0.1.0-1_amd64.deb

or

sudo gdebi hppcoin_0.1.0-1_amd64.deb

If I do that, it tells me

Code:
Unpacking hpccoinv2 (0.1.0-1) over (0.1.0-1) ...
Setting up hpccoinv2 (0.1.0-1) ...

But after that I, I have no idea where the binary is to run it.

You can just double click to run it. Binaries should be in /usr/local/bin

Double-click... In terminal... You made my day.

I meant to just double click the .deb file, obviously.

In terminal? do you know anything about operating systems without a graphical interface? There is a black window with white letters, called the terminal. you can use your keyboard there, not "double click"  Grin

Are you purposely trying to troll me? I'm responding to someone who said they were using UBUNTU, last time I checked it had a graphical interface. I've been using Linux distros for 2 decades now, I'm pretty sure I know how they work.
