Installing deb package from within Lazarus/Pascal application
« on: April 14, 2020, 11:20:37 pm »
Is it possible to install a deb package that requires superuser privilege from within Lazarus/Pascal application? Something that normally is done in the terminal or in a bash script in a way like

sudo dpkg -i abc.deb

Yes, using TProcess (or one of the function in the Process unit) to run a transitory shell and passing to it the command you want to run.

Similar questions have been already answered in the forum; look for: "running a command as admin" or similar.
