Linux installation for distributions without deb or rpm tool

Some distributions of Linux do not have a deb or rpm tool. Trelis can be installed using the following method:

Download the .deb file.

# extract the contents of the .deb file
ar vx Trelis-14.0-Lin64-pro.deb

# install the data files (the files will go into /opt)
sudo tar -zx --directory=/ -f data.tar.gz

# extract the control files
tar zxvf control.tar.gz

# setup the license manager and desktop shortcuts
sudo ./postint

Thanks.
