I installed bbk-cli from the .deb package


eddie@laptop:~/Downloads$ sudo apt install ./bbk-cli_1.0.0_amd64.deb

Note, selecting 'bbk-cli' instead of './bbk-cli_1.0.0_amd64.deb'

Preparing to unpack .../bbk-cli_1.0.0_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking bbk-cli (1.0.0) ...
Setting up bbk-cli (1.0.0) ...

So it installed correctly from what I can tell. However when I try to run it, this happens


eddie@laptop:~/Downloads$ bbk-cli

Command 'bbk-cli' not found, but can be installed with:

sudo snap install bbk-cli

I understand that I could remove it and install it via the snap, but is there a way to not use the snap but run it from the already installed package?


EDIT: I also tried installing using dpkg with the same result


eddie@laptop:~/Downloads$ sudo dpkg -i ./bbk-cli_1.0.0_amd64.deb

I have just downloaded the .deb file from this website into a new folder bbk_cli in the home directory


I then opened Nautilus, went to the bbk_cli folder, right clicked and selected "Open with Software Install", entered my password and it installed with no problem.


Then I typed bbk_cli in a terminal and this is the output (please note the underscore is not the same as a minus sign)

I don't like snaps and will update why shortly.
