Install dos2unix/fromdos on Debian 5

Posted May 31st, 2010 in Linux/Unix/BSD

dos2unix/fromdos is a Linux/Unix command line tool to convert line endings in a text file to Unix line endings. This post is here to help remind me in the future when I need to install this tool which package it is in. It also includes the unix2dos/todos utility which converts the other way.

tofrodos package

The package name is "tofrodos" and to install it on Debian 5 do this:

sudo aptitude install tofrodos
