I am not sure, how to install cronie on Alpine Linux as one software requires it.
If no package available can I compile and install it, what will be steps?
I have same problem on Alpine Docker image and I just used crontab for it.
echo "0 0 * * * /run/my/application" >> /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
The Fedora cronie package is their version of the standard Linux cron software. It's tough to tell what your software requires, but it probably just needs cron. What software are you trying to install? You may be able to adjust the package definition so that your installed version of cron is an acceptable alternative to cronie.

I have a linux server (completely new, web hosting, nothing is installed into it), and want to use a "wget" command. Currently, it is not found. Kernel version 2.6.32-896.16.1.lve1.4.54.el6.x86_64
I am completely new to linux, tried to solve this issue by myself, but couldn't do it. I log in into this linux server via PuTTY via my Windows OS laptop.
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.6/Python-3.6.6.tgz
To get "wget" to work, I will need to install it. I guess I will need to install first "sudo" and/or "apt" and/or "apt-get". But couldn't do it. Please give me a short list of steps in which order to install them.
Given your kernel version, it looks like your Linux distribution is CentOS 6 or RHEL 6. Try installing wget with this command:
yum install wget
You must be root when you run this command.
Incase you using Debian version of Linux, use the following:
sudo apt-get install wget
From kernel version, it looks like you are using RHEL/Centos 6.
Please check -
https://centos.pkgs.org/6/centos-x86_64/wget-1.12-10.el6.x86_64.rpm.html
If the mentioned dependencies exist in your system, you can directly fire the rpm command
rpm command guide -
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/ro/Fedora_Draft_Documentation/0.1/html/RPM_Guide/ch02s03.html
If it doesn't work, you need to use yum command. (You need to configure yum command first, if not configured already)
yum install wget
To configure yum command in centos6 -

Note - you need to be root user for above activities.
I am using Windows 10 in my machine, and currently installed git bash on it.
I wanted to install node and npm for my application.
when i tried :
apt-get install nodejs
"apt-get" command not found,
I tried google and got
sudo install nodejs
"sudo" command not found.
How to use sudo and apt-get command on my git bash.
Git for Windows comes with a Windows port of Bash and a collection of few more common *nix command-line tools that have been compiled for Windows, it does not provide a complete *nix environment. Hence you cannot use tools like sudo and apt-get which modify the *nix operating system.
However, there are other tools, programs if you like, available.
Try to install node " the windows way ".
win-sudo package adds sudo to windows.
kafaior at Super User suggests:
A working sudo replacement for Cygwin's mintty terminal would be to place the following script in user's PATH:
$!/bin/bash
cygstart --action=runas mintty -e `which bash` -lc \"$#\"
Maximus mentions how to add sudo (well, csudo) via cmder.
Super User has a similar question here.
It looks like there is a command runas or elevate commands. These might be for PowerShell, rather than git bash. I'm not sure.
I found your this while looking for a way to add rsync to Git Bash. So below I included info that may or may not work for sudo or apt-get. If they do not work directly for specific commands the OP is asking about, they may inspire a solution that does work. Also this could help others who arrived here as I did.
rsync is another unix command not available in the standard installation of git bash.
However, you can download and install the Git for Windows SDK (scroll to the bottom of the page for the link). This will allow you to create a version of the Git for Windows installer that does include additional *nx commands.
Install the Git for Windows SDK according to the instructions. Part 2 is where you add the packages you want, that aren't included in the standard git bash installation. Part 3 is where you create a Git installer, which will include the additional packages. If you skipped step 2, this should produce an installer similar to the standard installer.. There is a good discussion as to why they cannot include these commands in the general distribution.
It is also possible to just grab rsync filehere or here and unpack it directly within your Git installation, and it works. I dunno if it is also possible to do something similar for sudo or apt-get.
Finally, it looks like there is a way to get *nix commands available within the Git Bash shell via cmder. Here are the instructions.
Installing applications in git bash does not sound right to me. I would suggest you either use the native Windows installer (https://nodejs.org/) or, if you prefer a package manager, use Chocolatey (https://chocolatey.org/) to install nodejs with:
choco install nodejs
I am new to Linux (new as in installed it yesterday), I need it for my programming course in the university and I've been told to install specific versions of specific programs, but though I've used apt-get install to install them (having previously done apt-get update) they aren't in the correct version.
The programs that I need are make 4.0 and valgrind 3.10.1.
apt-get installs make 3.81 and valgrind 3.10.0.SVN.
I have tried typing "apt-get install make4.0" and "apt-get install valgrind10.3.1" to no avail. I have downloaded them from the internet and followed what instructions I could understand to install the newer versions but it keeps saying that I have the older ones. (I'm not sure if I can post direct links here, if I can let me know and I'll post where I got them from).
What have I been doing wrong? How can I fix this?
I am currently running Linux Mint.
Thanks for any answer in advance.
Due to a long-standing unresolved Debian bug report, GNU Make remained the age-old 3.81 in Debian for a very long time, and as a consequence, in Debian-based distributions such as Ubuntu and Mint.
The latest Debian release, Jessie, has upgraded to 4.0, so Debian-based distributions will have that upgrade. However, it is better to use 4.1.
This has been discussed many times on the GNU Make mailing list and elsewhere.
So to get a newer version, you must compile it from scratch.
This is easy:
Install the required packages (gcc, make and such).
Open up a shell (if you're using the GUI, a terminal window).
Type the following commands (or something equivalent, e.g. you can use curl instead of wget):
cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-4.1.tar.gz
tar xvf make-4.1.tar.gz
cd make-4.1/
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..
rm -rf make-4.1.tar.gz make-4.1
Now, make 4.1 is in /usr/local/bin/make.
You can verify it is there with whereis make.
You can make it your default make by prefixing /usr/local/bin to your $PATH variable in your shell startup file; for instance, in .profile or .bashrc if you use the bash shell.
Don't try to install a self-compiled make (or anything else that doesn't come from the distribution's package manager) into /bin or /usr/bin; doing that will confuse your package manager.
This is a common problem, not only with shoes. Almost every installation for linux involves apt-get install or yum install. Using cygwin it's impossible to use those commands. What's the solution?
Didn't find the solution, switched to linux.
I have created rpm for my software which works fine for fedora. But this fails whenever I want to install the same in linux mint. because linux mint supprts .deb file for installation. So I want to create installer package for my software which will be compatible in linux mint.
Check out the program alien, which allows you to manipulate foreign packages on a linux distro. Note that this is fine for installing simple packages, but you should build the package from source if you intend to distribute to a large audience.
Another great tool at your disposal for this would be fpm. It allows to create several different package types from many different things, like rpm's. It currently works with the following:
Sources:
gem (even autodownloaded for you)
python modules (autodownload for you)
pear (also downloads for you)
directories
tar(.gz) archives
rpm
deb
node packages (npm)
Targets:
deb
rpm
solaris
tar
directories
Mac OS X .pkg files (osxpkg)
You can find it here: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm
you can use alien if you want and that's the recommended way to do it actually, but you can install it with rpm too. just install rpm:sudo apt-get install rpm then run sudo rpm -i package_name
