In Ubuntu, you can run a line like
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:swi-prolog/stable
How to do it using apt-cyg in Cygwin windows?
You can run apt-cyg with the -m option to specify a mirror/repository.
So this is what I did to install PHP from the Cygwinports repo.
apt-cyg update -m ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports
Then I was able to install the packages from that repo.
apt-cyg install php
Modern interface for apt-cyg from https://github.com/transcode-open/apt-cyg is:
$ apt-cyg mirror ftp://ftp.cygwinports.org/pub/cygwinports
$ apt-cyg update
$ apt-cyg install php
Repo with last WinXP support:
$ apt-cyg mirror ftp://www.fruitbat.org/pub/cygwin/circa/2016/08/30/104223
Official main repo:
$ apt-cyg mirror http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
Multi sources support request on project github.
UPDATE As development under transcode-open is stalled since 2016 use updating heir: https://github.com/kou1okada/apt-cyg

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
Nodejs version 4 has been released and installed on my windows machine.
I'm trying to install the package trough yum on redhat but i'm not getting the latest version.
i tried: sudo yum install -y nodejs but the lastest 4.0 version is not installed.
How do i install nodejs 4.0 on a redhat machine?
NodeJS 4.X for EL7 repos located at https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_4.x/el/7/
To install with yum change baseurl in nodesource-el.repo file to:
baseurl=https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_4.x/el/7/$basearch
/etc/yum.repos.d/nodesource-el.repo content:
[nodesource]
name=Node.js Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch
baseurl=https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_4.x/el/7/$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/NODESOURCE-GPG-SIGNING-KEY-EL
[nodesource-source]
name=Node.js for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch - Source
baseurl=https://rpm.nodesource.com/pub_4.x/el/7/SRPMS
failovermethod=priority
enabled=0
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/NODESOURCE-GPG-SIGNING-KEY-EL
gpgcheck=1
You can compile and install from its source.
ver=4.0.0
wget -c https://nodejs.org/dist/v$ver/node-v$ver.tar.gz #This is to download the source code.
tar -xzf node-v$ver.tar.gz
cd node-v$ver
./configure && make && sudo make install
https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/wiki/Installation
Try npm install n -g and then n latest for downloading it with this version manager.
Edit:
The official distributions are managed by Nodesource. For RHEL the setup is supposed to be (take from the repo):
Current instructions for installing, as listed on the Node.js Wiki:
Note that the Node.js packages for EL 5 (RHEL5 and CentOS 5) depend on the EPEL repository being available. The setup script will check and provide instructions if it is not installed.
Run as root on RHEL, CentOS, CloudLinux or Fedora:
curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup | bash -
Then install, as root:
yum install -y nodejs
But be aware that 4.0 is currently not in their rpm distribution
This was my solution and it worked:
Distrubution url: Distr: https://nodejs.org/dist/v4.2.1/node-v4.2.1.tar.gz (v4.2.1 for now)
Unpack the package (tar Jxf node-v4.2.1.tar.xz).
Some package could be too old and will cause problems during installation.
cd to the unpacked file and run ”./configure”. if the warming “C++ compiler too old, need g++ 4.8 or clang++ 3.4” is displayed you need to execute the following commands:
curl http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/scl/slc6-scl.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/slc6-scl.repo
rpm --import http://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/51/i386/RPM-GPG-KEYs/RPM-GPG-KEY-cern
yum install -y devtoolset-3
And to utilize it without having to set environment variables execute this command:
scl enable devtoolset-3 bash
Now restart the process:
./configure
make
make install
You can try this solution.
First, update software repository to the latest versions:
yum -y update
Intall "Development Tools". It's a group of tools for compiling software from sources.
yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools"
Move to /usr/src directory - the usual place to hold software sources.
cd /usr/src
Now, we pick the latest compressed source archive from Node.js website at http://nodejs.org/download/.
wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v4.2.4/node-v4.2.4.tar.gz
tar zxf node-v4.2.4.tar.gz
cd node-v4.2.4
./configure
make
make install
I was trying to follow this guide: https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/blob/master/machine/kvm_x86_64/INSTALL but have gotten stuck.
On this line: make MACHINE=kvm_x86_64 all, I get stg: command not found when it is trying to apply a patch. I get Error 127 on a make command. Here's the output:
I have g++ and git installed. What am I doing wrong?
From the ONIE project wiki Building ONIE:
For a Debian-based system, a Makefile target exists that installs the required packages on your build machine. The ONIE project will maintain this target for the current stable version of Debian. This target requires the use of sudo(8), since package installation requires root privileges:
$ cd build-config
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
$ make debian-prepare-build-host
I built this on Ubuntu Desktop 15.04. For anyone else trying to build ONIE virtual machine, install these packages first:
Packages
qemu-kvm
git
stg
gperf
bison
flex
autoconf
texinfo
gawk
libtool
libtool-bin
libncurses5-dev
libexpat1
libexpat1-dev
python2.7-dev
python3.4-dev
xorriso
You can install most of these with sudo apt-get install <package>. You should be able to follow the ONIE guide now and set it up. Thanks to EtanReisner for all the help!
On Ubuntu, install stg package by,
sudo apt-get install stgit
the error stg: command not found should be resolved.
I have a question regarding the installation of the boost libraries. Is there a package that I can use the sudo apt-get install to install this package. I searched all of the questions in this forum and using the commands sudo apt-get install libboost1.40-dev I cannot install theh package with this. Also, I can download it from boost.org but I do not know the correct path to install it too. I would prefer to install it using the sudo apt-get install commands if possible. I am using Ubuntu 9.04.
Thanks.
If you want to run with the latest version, you can do the bjam install as mentioned by Ralf, but I suggest you build a 'pseudo' package so you can
uninstall it safely
prevent/notice conflicts with official/existing boost packages.
Here is how to do that:
mkdir -pv /tmp/boostinst
cd /tmp/boostinst/
wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.66.0/boost_1_66_0.tar.bz2/download'
tar xf download
cd boost_1_66_0/
./bootstrap.sh --help
./bootstrap.sh --show-libraries
./bootstrap.sh
checkinstall ./b2 install
On new boost version there is other way:
sudo apt-get update
wget -c 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.50.0/boost_1_50_0.tar.bz2/download'
tar xf download
cd boost_1_50_0
./bootstrap.sh
./b2 install
You can use command aptitude search libboost to see list of the availiable boost libraries. The last version of boost is 1.42 - maybe that's why you can't find version 1.40.
If aptitude search command don't give you sufficient results, try sudo aptitude update and then run aptitude search again.
On my version of Ubuntu (10.04) it's libboost1.40-all-dev
On your version you've probably got an older version of boost, you should just be able to tab-complete to see which version you can install.
In any case what I usually do under Ubuntu is
sudo apt-get install bjam
Extract the downloaded boost archive to your hard-drive and then cd into the root and
sudo bjam install
This way you can get the newest version of boost, and not the slightly outdated one that is available for your Ubuntu version.
This is a link which explain step by step on how to install it (give it some time read!)
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html
but your inline shell command might be the simple and easy way for doing it
I want to install Go. I prepared system for support language. But sadly, I can't find Bison and libc6-dev following this command.
sudo apt-get install bison ed gawk gcc libc6-dev make
Then I still can't find the suitable Mercurial for Ubuntu 8.10, which is followed this command.
apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential
Therefore everyone please guide what I should do in order to install Go completely. My OS is Ubuntu version 8.10. Notice you can post the direct link for me to get packets/files.
Mercurial can typically be installed with
sudo apt-get install mercurial
The package is in universe, which you may not have enabled. The full guide, if you need it, is available here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mercurial
After installing setuptools et al., the go installation instructions say that you should install mercurial with easy-install, i.e. sudo easy_install mercurial. Are you having trouble with easy_install?
In order to install go with Homebrew run the following command on the terminal:
$ brew install golang
To check the version of go run the following command:
$ go version
To see the location run:
$ which go
To uninstall go :
$ sudo apt-get remove golang-go
