dpkg-i not working

[IanSR]

Hello everyone.

I am a little stuck as it seems dpkg-i is not installed.
I will explain.
I have a Raspberry pi 3B and the 5” LCD screen.

I went to waveshare.com/wiki to download the file LCD-show-161112.tar.bz

I did, sudo tar xvf LCD-show-161112.tar.bz
cd /home/pi/Downloads/LCD-show
sudo ./LCD5-show
The system rebooted and saw an immediate effect. Looked great.
Then I cd/home/pi/Downloads/LCD-show

and this is where it did not work.

Sudo dpkg-i xinput-calibrator_0.7.5-l_armhf.deb
This is so I can calibrate the LCD in the GUI.

The error message dpkg-i command not found

I type in dpkg-i –help and again it said, command not found

Can I just download a package to install it or is there something I am missing.

Kind regards
Ian

It's "dpkg -i", note the space between dpkg and -i.

Ha ha, thanks for that.
My eyes. I need glasses.
Much appreciated.
Kind regards
