I am trying to install some rpm packages in my oraacle linux. I am downloading using wget command , Like the following,
wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/addons/x86_64/getPackage/VirtualBox-4.0-4.0.22_91544_el6-1.x86_64.rpm
Can I use wget install together to download and install those packages ?
If the file is downloaded then you can use the below command
sudo alien -i rpmpackage.rpm
I have some linux boxes that do not allow me to use yum to install packages. Instead I need to download the zip or tar and then use a package manager to install the items on my linux boxes.
When you go to the git-scm page, the only way they provide to install git is to use yum, apt-get, etc from the command line.
Why is there not just a zip file?
Where can I find the package to install?
Has anyone else had this same issue?
I had the same issue before. I tried to install git from source and it works.
Intalling these packages first:
curl
autoconf
zlib-devel
openssl-devel
perl
cpio
expat-devel
gettext-devel
Getting the GIT scm source code:
git-latest.tar.gz
Compiling the GIT scm from source
tar xzvf git-latest.tar.gz
cd git-{date} // edit it
autoconf
./configure --with-curl=/usr/local
make
make install
I have downloaded Node.js from this link, which points to this link when clicking the button:
https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.1.2/node-v4.1.2-linux-x64.tar.gz
As advice from the Ubuntu community on installing the tar.gz, the following steps are followed.
$ ./configure
$ make
$ [sudo] make install
The problem is the current file I have downloaded does not contain ./configure.
So how do I install this? Should I extract this to the usr/ folder?
My OS is Debian 8 (Jessie).
Should I include the Java package from Oracle? Is it safe to extract these files to the /usr folder?
You can download this file from the browser or from the console. The latter is shown below (note: the specific Node.js version might be different for you):
Example :
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v8.1.1/node-v8.1.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
sudo tar -C /usr/local --strip-components 1 -xzf node-v8.1.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
#tar options:
-x, --extract, --get
extract files from an archive
-f, --file ARCHIVE
use archive file or device ARCHIVE
-z, --gzip, --gunzip --ungzip`
You may find list of node version on http://nodejs.org/dist/
You should now have both Node.js and npm installed in “/usr/local/bin”. You can check this typing:
ls -l /usr/local/bin/node ls -l /usr/local/bin/npm
*An alternative way to install Node.js via the package manager:
Installing Node.js via package manager
Download the .tar.xz file form https://nodejs.org/en/ and then press Ctrl + Alt + T.
Then go to the destination that you downloaded your file to. For me it's my downloads folder. Then hit this command and Node.js will get installed on your system:
sudo tar -xf node-v16.0.0-linux-x64.tar.xz --directory=/usr/local --strip-components=1
This was the answer I had posted over two years ago, and here is what I recommand you right now, decompress the tarball, and keep it anywhere where your system knows ( tell it via updating $PATH ), its just a binary file, its not necessary to keep it in some specific location, you can keep it in your home directory and andd your bin folder to your bashrc or whatever shell you are using, its .rc file, and it will work just fine, at the end of the day, its just a pre-compiled binary file (inside node) nothing much.
Somebody in the comment section was saying npm, needs to be installed sepretly, this was in the early days of node back in 2012, when npm used to not ship with node, if you look inside bin folder npm binary is also there, so you dont need to install npm sepretly.
In case of installing from source code, you must download source code from https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.1.2/node-v4.1.2.tar.gz.
The file ending with .tar.gz is the compressed file like zip file, and you should extract the file before you can do another operation.
You can extract this file anywhere you need. In the terminal, change the location to your .tar.gz file:
$ cd /path/to/tar.gz/file
Then extract it using tar:
$ tar xvzf node-v4.1.2.tar.gz
Then change the location to the extracted directory
$ cd node-v4.1.2
After this, you can run .configure and 'make' it:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ [sudo] make install
Using the make utility is only necessary if you're compiling software. However, the tarballs provided by nodejs.org contain compiled binaries, not source code. Really you don't need to install it to use.
You can simply cd into the bin directory and run it via ./node. Though I'll say it's pretty useful to have it in your PATH. Where you put this directory doesn't really matter.
If you're installing it locally on your own machine, you can just untar it, tar xvfz node*tar.gz, to your home directory, add this to the file ~/.bashrc, and append the directory path your your PATH environment variable like so PATH=$PATH:/home/USERNAME/DIRECTORY/bin. Just change the path to the exact path to the bin folder in the directory you extracted.
You can also add these files to a directory that's already in your path, such as /usr/share or /usr/local by simple copying the files from the archive into these folders, as they share the same structure.
Run the following commands where your ta.xz file (no need for extraction) file is located in the terminal. NB: I used Kali Linux
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/nodejs
sudo tar -xJvf node-v14.4.0-linux-x64.tar.xz -C /usr/local/lib/nodejs
export PATH=/usr/local/lib/nodejs/node-node-v14.4.0-linux-x64/bin:$PATH
You can now check npm -v, node -v, and npx -v.
STEP 1:
Download your version of Node.js from the Node.js website or use the below command with your version:
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v8.1.1/node-v8.1.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
You will get a Node.js file tar file after the above step.
STEP 2:
Just use the below command for installation
sudo tar -C /usr/local --strip-components 1 -xvf node-v8.1.1-linux-x64.tar.gz
I am mentioning version-specific installation of NVM and Node.js.
If you don't have brew installed, run this:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
If you don't have wget installed, run this:
brew install wget
To install Node.js of a specific version, run these commands: Here, I'm installing NVM - v0.33.1 and Node.js of v0.12.6.
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.1/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install v0.12.6
command -v nvm //verify install
You can do some this:
# Using Ubuntu or Debian
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_[version].x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Where [version] must be replaced for your version of Node.js that you required install
For example, I required to install Node.js v.12
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
Download a suitable installation from
https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Incase of CentOS
Go to the downloaded file location
Execute the following
sudo tar -C /usr/local --strip-components 1 -xf "name of the tar.xz downloaded"
Check the installed version is correct
node --version
The given solution is correct, but it works for the source file and not the Linux distribution link used in the question above.
$ ./configure
$ make
$ [sudo] make install
The correct link is: https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.11.2/node-v8.11.2.tar.gz and we can use the above steps after downloading and extracting this file.
Download the latest version of Node.js from the official site, https://nodejs.org/en/
Steps to install:
Extract to any of the directories where you wish to install Node.js using a command or archive manager window
Open the terminal
Run '$sudo su'
Being superuser and open the profile file using 'nano ~/.profile'
At the end of the file, add:
# Node.js
export PATH=/path-to-bin.executable:$PATH
The path to bin application located within the bin folder of Node.js extracted folder is to be pasted in the above line
Save using Ctrl + O then come out by Ctrl + X
Refresh profile by the command '.~/.profile'
Come out of superuser by the 'exit' command
Again for normal users, use 'sudo'
'sudo nano ~/.profile'
Add the line at the end:
# Node.js
export PATH=/path-to-bin.executable:$PATH
Same as in step 5
Save and exit
Here the refresh command as above won't work, so restart the system to finish installation correctly
To get the version, issue 'node -v'
Could someone pls give me a detailed procedure to intsall libs3 on LINUX? Just the procedure will do.
Thanks in advance.
These are the instructions to install libs3 on centos on a 64 bit machine.
According to their README, you are supposed to build an rpm package out of their source code using 'rpmbuild -ta '
1.) So first, install rpmbuild if it isn't installed already. [My install location is the default one: ~/rpmbuild]
2.) Clone libs3.
git clone https://github.com/bji/libs3.git
3.) Rename folder as libs3-trunk [rpmbuild complained if its name wasn't that, so...], create a tar.gz, copy it to SOURCES folder inside rpmbuild directory.
mv libs3 libs3-trunk
tar -zcvf libs3-trunk.tar.gz libs3-trunk/
mv libs3-trunk.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
4.) Build the rpm
rpmbuild -ta libs3-trunk.tar.gz
cd ../RPMS/x86_64
5.) Install dependency libs3-2-2.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm from
[http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/21900926/dir/centos_6/com/libs3-2-2.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm.html] OR [ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/home:/dalgaaf:/ceph:/extra/CentOS_CentOS-6/x86_64/libs3-2-2.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm]
6.) Install the rpm:
Execute following as sudo:
rpm -Uvh libs3-2-2.0-5.1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh --replacefiles libs3-trunk-1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh libs3-devel-trunk-1.x86_64.rpm
7.) Install libcurl-devel/libxml2-devel through yum if you get following error:
make: curl-config: Command not found
make: xml2-config: Command not found
sudo yum install libcurl-devel.x86_64
sudo yum install libxml2-devel.x86_64
For ubuntu versions >=14.04, libs3-dev is available as an Ubuntu package.
So you just need to run:
sudo apt-get install libs3-dev
i'm trying to install the adobe air sdk in linux. i unzip the package downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/products/air/tools/sdk/ into a folder "AdobeAIRSDK", and add the /bin folder into the PATH environment variable. but when i tried to run the adl, it gives me the following error:
Error loading the runtime (/home/monuser/AdobeAIRSDK/bin/../runtimes/air/linux/Adobe AIR/Versions/1.0/Resources/nss3/None/libnss3.so: file too short)
what's the problem here and how do i get it fixed?
Are you trying to install on a 64-bit OS? Either way, Adobe has a KB on installation that might help.
Installing Adobe Air on Ubuntu 13.10
Install i386 libraries, that are required for successful installation and running of Adobe Air and air applications:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libnss3-1d:i386 lib32nss-mdns libxml2:i386 libxslt1.1:i386 libcanberra-gtk-module:i386 gtk2-engines-murrine:i386
Install gnome-keyring:i386.
It can't be installed using apt-get as other i386 (at least at the moment of writing this), because of it's dependencies. So we'll need to download it and install manually. In fact, this is easy:
download deb-package using apt-get to /tmp:
cd /tmp
sudo apt-get download libgnome-keyring0:i386
extract deb-package into gnome-keyring subfolder (note version in the file name, it may be different):
sudo dpkg-deb -R libgnome-keyring0_3.8.0-2_i386.deb gnome-keyring
install library in the system by copying:
sudo cp gnome-keyring/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/
create symlinks so Adobe Air could see it:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
Download Adobe Air installer from Adobe official site: http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/archived-air-sdk-version.html
Install Adobe Air using downloaded installer (don't forget to allow execution of the installer file):
chmod a+x AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
sudo ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin
Adobe Air should be installed successfully now! Now you may remove excess symlinks:
sudo rm /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0
sudo rm /usr/lib/libgnome-keyring.so.0.2.0
