How To Install Package In Debian

- RPM Package Manager
The RPM was developed at RedHat for keeping track of the files each program or package installed as well as noting what other packages it depended on or depended on it, some information about the source of the package and a brief synopsis.
One should avoid using .rpm package on a Debian system.
There are some good (and more not so good) write-ups comparing the two package management systems. A search for rpm vs deb or rpm vs dpkg will turn them up. todo add some url's for some good ones
Why would anyone want to use the RPM within Debian?
If the package only comes in binary .rpm format, you can use alien to convert it.

Redhat Package Manager (RPM)
RPM was originally designed to be a standalone binary installer for Redhat based GNU/Linux distros (Like Fedora, Mandrake and SUSE). RPM has since been ported to other operating systems such as IBM's AIX and Novell Netware.
Install a .RPM in Debian
To install a .rpm file in a Debian based system you'll need the program Alien. Note that Alien can't work 100% of the time, because rpm and apt are very different.

PostgreSQL is very popular open source database. It is used by big companies like Google, Facebook etc. PostgreSQL can be used without a cost. In this tutorial we will look how to install PostgreSQL into Linux distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, CentOS, RedHat by using different ways like package management or downloading setup file.
In apt-get or apt based distros the postgresql server is named as postgresql . We can print and show package related information with show option. This will list information like version, section, download size, installed size.

We will use yum or dnf package manager for rpm type. We will use install option and provide the postgre sql package name which is postgresql-server . We will also provide -y in order to automatically accept asked questions.
We have option to installe PostgreSQL Server from binary without using package manager. The adventage of using setup file is getting the latest version of the PostgreSQL Server. But the downside is there may be some incompabilities with the current distribution. We can download the binary setup file from link below.
In this case we will download version 10.1 which link is below.
