1. Installation of packages Objectives –Using software packaging tools Contents –Application delivered as –Where to get commonly used rpm’s –Autofs on! –Getting RPM from WEB/FTP –Manually install from disk/net –Installing SRPMS –Creating RPMS –Managing RPM’s –Managing tar-balls –Apt-get Practical –none Summary

2. Application delivered as Binaries –Application comes precompiled –Can be dependent of other libraries, dynamic built. –Can be undependent of other libraries, static built. –Is dependent on RedHat version –Is dependent of plateform ie. I386 architecture or sparc Sourcecode –Application comes as open c/c++ -source code –You need to have development enviroment installed ie. gcc –Is undependent of plateform And is stoved in ”tar-balls” –Application is zipped togeather with tar (tape archive record) –Most common for 3:party and application in sourcecode And is stoved in ”rpm’s” –Application is packaged in special redhat packet –Most common for RedHat precompiled applications

3. Where To Get Commonly Used RPMs RPMs On Your Installation CDs –You find all.rpm files in /RedHat/RPMS on CD1-3 –mount /dev/cdrom or install automount RPMs Downloaded From RedHat 9 ”Shrike” –http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ –ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS//pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ Other places for RPM’s –http://rpmfind.net/http://rpmfind.net/ –ftp://ftp.sunet.se

4. Getting RPMs Using Web Based FTP from RedHat site –Use your web browser to go to the RedHat link above –Go to the /pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ -directory –Click on the openldap-clients-2.0.27-8.i386.rpm linkopenldap-clients-2.0.27-8.i386.rpm –Save the file to your hard drive from RPM find site –Go to the rpmfind link above –Type in ”openldap" in the search box –Click the search button –Scroll down for the RPM that matches your version of Fedora –The right hand column has the links with the actual names of the rpm files –Click the link –Save the file to Linux box's hard drive With wget # wget http://some.server.com/RPMS/application.rpm

5. Getting RPMs Using Anonymous FTP Open ftp.redhat.comftp.redhat.com Download your rpm’s –Here we used mget to download several files at same time # ftp ftp.redhat.comftp.redhat.com # cd /pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS # ls openldap* 200 PORT command OK. 150 Here comes the directory listing. openldap-2.0.27-8.i386.rpm openldap-clients-2.0.27-8.i386.rpm openldap-devel-2.0.27-8.i386.rpm openldap-servers-2.0.27-8.i386.rpm 226 Directory send OK. # mget openldap*.. # by # ftp ftp.redhat.comftp.redhat.com # cd /pub/redhat/linux/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS # ls openldap* 200 PORT command OK. 150 Here comes the directory listing. openldap-2.0.27-8.i386.rpm openldap-clients-2.0.27-8.i386.rpm openldap-devel-2.0.27-8.i386.rpm openldap-servers-2.0.27-8.i386.rpm 226 Directory send OK. # mget openldap*.. # by

6. How To Manually Install RPMs Installing Downloaded rpm-Files & from CDROM INSTALLING # rpm -ivh foo-2.12.rpm -i = Specifies installation as the action to be taken. -v = Will display additional information while installing. -h = Prints 50 hash marks (#) as installation progresses. UPDATING # rpm -Uvh filename.rpm -U = Update UPDATING WHEN DEPENDENCIES FAIL ABOVE -nodeps = Ignode dependencies temporary while updating # rpm –Uvh –nodeps filename.rpm UNINSTALLING # rpm -e gpm -would remove the package named gpm

7. How To Manually Install RPMs from NET Installing rpm-Files from the net FTP Anonymous passwords: # rpm -ivh ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/RedHat/foo.rpmftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/RedHat/foo.rpm FTP Non anonymous: # rpm -ivh ftp://yahoo@ftp.linux.tucows.com/put/RedHat/foo.rpmftp://yahoo@ftp.linux.tucows.com/put/RedHat/foo.rpm HTTP # rpm -ivh http://www.linux.tucows.com/pub/RedHat/foo.rpmhttp://www.linux.tucows.com/pub/RedHat/foo.rpm

8. More RPM afterwork and checkouts Test install before real install Update test # rpm -Uvh –test application.rpm Install test # rpm -ivh --test application.rpm QUERY EXACT # rpm -q samba-show package version and if it is installed VERIFY # rpm –verify samba-2.0.6-62-installed package status IS INSTALLED # rpm -qa | grep samba-grep all that begins with samba LISTING FILES # rpm -qpl dhcp-3.0pl1-23.i386.rpm.show all files stoved in rpm package

9. How to Install Source RPMs, newer RH Usually installed using a supplier-produced scripts –You have to download them or get them from CD-roms –Files lastnames are.src.rpm –They are usally found in a catalog called SRPMS/ –In order to make your application, you need to compile: Installing compiled SRPMS RedHat keeps its SRPMS files –In: /usr/src/redhat/ # rpmbuild --rebuild application.src.rpm... # rpmbuild --rebuild application.src.rpm... # cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 # rpm –ivh application.rpm # cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 # rpm –ivh application.rpm

10. Install/Uninstall TAR-balls Unpacking TAR package application –tar xvfz application.tar.gz Preconfigure application –cd application –Read the INSTALLATION and HOWTO’s –./configureormake config Compile application –Make is sometimes not needed if application is binary –make –make test Install application –If application is binary, you sometimes just run./install or similar –make installor./install Uninstall application make uninstall

11. Other installation/uninstall tools APT –Debian tool for updating and installing application and system components –# apt-get [options] install package [package...] –There options [update|check|install|upgrade|remove] –Also available for RedHat pkgtool –Slackware package manager rpm2cpio –Extract cpio archive from RPM Package Manager (RPM) package rpm2tgz/rpm2targz –Mainly supposed for slackware –Extract tar archive from RPM Package Manager (RPM) package
