Learn a loyal friend, may have a lot of us who know how to install programs on linux, but some are still confused how to install programs on linux operating Sytem. For windows with a different linux, if windows live double-click, the installation process is running, but in linux a little different. To that I add this article to share with readers on how to install the Linux OS. Basically the linux has some sort of way to install the software and usually each distribution has different ways of installing a program.
How to install programs on linux is divided into several sections:
1. Compile and install programs from source
2. Extension RPM install programs from Redhat Packet Manager
3. Install programs using apt-get debian innate
4. Install the program on mandriva
5. Install the program in fedora using yum
6. Install the packages in slackware
7. Installing binary files (. BIN /. SH)
Below I write the way how do I install software on linux by categories which I have grouped above;
1. Compile and install programs from source
Usually the application will be installed from source extension ” .Tar .gz”, “. Tar.bz2?,” .zip “, and usually before installing the program there are some people who prefer to put the files before you installed in /usr/local/src/ but this is not a necessity can be put anywhere. Get to the next stage begin to install, first open a terminal or command prompt and then you go straight to where you put the file, and do this, adjust your files with the extension.
[Files with extensions .Tar.gz tar-xzvf ------>]
[Files with extensions .Tar.bz2 tar-------> jxvf]
[Files with extensions. ------> Zip unzip]
after doing so then your file will automatically extract will create a folder, then open the file with
[Cd]
The next step is to live to a pre-installation by writing
[ ./Configure]
[make]
[make install]
to here is over, but it’s a good idea to install a program before you read the manual to install the program usually in the INSTALL or README.
2. Extension RPM install programs from Redhat Packet Manager
To install this program with very simple extensions are in use this application on redhat distributions and their derivatives, along the way;
[Install the program --- 'rpm-i]
[Uninstall programs --- 'rpm-e]
3. install programs using apt-get debian innate
In and derivatives debian distributions known apt-get to install the program, but there are more important than the application of our current set-list that is the source address is used to install the application program in useful if we use apt-get applications online this. Usually these addresses are added in / etc / apt / sources.list to open the way your editor application and add addresses that contain the source-list programs.
After changing sources.list is worth doing
[Apt-get update] to update the sources.list that we have.
The next step is install program using apt-get
[Install --- 'apt-get install]
[Uninstall - 'apt-get remove]
4. install the program on mandriva
To install the program on mandriva can be done by
[Install - 'urpmi]
[Uninstall - 'urpme
5. install the program in fedora using yum
Basically how to install using yum to use your almost equal to pt-get in the way the next debian
[Yum update]
[Yum install]
[Yum remove]
6. install the packages in slackware
install the packages in slackware easier longer live in the root and then;
[Install - 'installpkg]
[Uninstall - 'removepkg]
or can also use the
[Pkg tool]
in addition we can also change the file format extension .tgz rpm with a very easy way
[rpm2tgz]
7. installing binary files ( .BIN/.SH)
to install a binary program is the first few steps make sure the file can be executed the following way;
[Chmod +x name program.bin], then
[./Name program.bin]
[sh name program.sh]
Maybe it’s just a few ways of many ways of installing programs on linux but it is enough to recognize and install the program on linux
Note:
“The way it was done above using the console/terminal/command-prompt in linux.
“Usually in the install program can only be done by root, then enter as root to install these programs. There are several ways into the root can use the [su], or can also use [sudo su].
“In addition to installing the above maybe you can use a GUI application can also be used to install the program, for example in debian and ubuntu can use synaptic packet manager.
