I'm using CentOS 4.8 , i386.
I would appreciate if any one can help me to install Gnome (or any other GUI) while there is no yum available.
I tried to install yum but since It's a company's server with many things installed on it,
I faced with many problems.
However I decided to find a way to install Gnome without using yum
And please take note:
I'm a neophyte!
Did you try getting the source-code and building it manually?
You can get the code from
http://www.gnome.org/getting-gnome/
GNOME also provides a build tool to make the installation easier.
But, as it has already been pointed out - Servers are best managed over command line. It will give you more power and control over what you are doing.

I wanted to post this because I didn't find the answer elsewhere and this might just help someone else.
I have Slack installed on my Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver via FlatPak and would like to have it launch as soon as I login.
Because it is installed via FlatPak, I cannot find it in /usr/share/applications in order to add it to startup applications
You need to install FlatPak applications via Gnome Tweaks. If you haven't already installed Gnome tweaks then run
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
Launch Gnome Tweaks and navigate to "Startup Applications".
The flatPak applications are easily found from here.
You could add an entry to your .gnomerc, .Xinitrc etc such as
snap run (program)
I need to install Java, Solr, and update Git on this dedicated server.
I have ssh root access and was going to use the apt-get method to install what I need. But says this command is not found. Is this not a core Linux thing? I am guess I need to now look into installing this before doing anything else?
I don't have CPanel access.
This is solved. I did not know there was a different package manager with CentOS and Ubuntu. I used yum and it worked. I will mark this answered once I am able.
A friend and I are interested in training the tesseract-OCR engine for a CV project. We tried using some wrappers such as PyTesser and pyocr, but the results are currently not as accurate as we need them to be. As such, we want to try training the tesseract to perform better for our purposes (i.e. identifying text on food labels), but are having some trouble installing the training tools.
What we've tried:
Looking on the google code website, the 'Compiling' page on the tesseract's google code wiki says the training tools are only available on version 3.03. However, the google code 'Downloads' page for tesseract-ocr only has the materials for 3.02. The bottom of the 'Compiling' page also has some comments about installing version 3.03 on Windows and OSX, but no comments yet for Linux users.
There also appears to be some sort of 3.03 source package for Ubuntu but we're not sure how to access it on our computers and the 'Compiling' page says we need to run these commands:
make training
sudo make training-install
We've also found a google group thread about tesseract 3.03 but again it seems like these posts do not include advice for Linux users (unless we missed something during the initial read).
Is this actually a really simple command-line install problem? Or, is there a way train tesseract with 3.02 (which we currently have installed)? Have we been looking at the wrong places for information?
Any advice or links to instructions for installing tesseract-ocr 3.03 for Linux distributions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Tesseract can directly be installed in Ubuntu 14.04 using
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
I don't have any idea if you can do it in older version of Ubuntu because the repo might be updated in later version of Ubuntu.
I had an aws ubuntu 14.04 instance.
when I tried installing Tesseract with
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
It retuned package not found
But this worked for me.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
Ubuntu is a debian based Linux distribution. The tesseract package you find will most likely be a debian package which will contain tesseract and the required default language files to allow you to run/train tesseract. You do NOT want the source package -- unless you just want to compile it yourself -- no need. You will not have to build tesseract, you just need to install the package. First, it appears you are new to Ubuntu, so please ready InstallingSoftware. It can be as easy as opening up an x-term and issuing the command apt-get install tesseract-pkgname (note: that means whatever the package name is).
There is no shortcut, take the time to understand whether you have a .deb package on your box that need to be installed or whether you are installing from a remote repository. The link above explains how to handle both.
Here is a specific Ubuntu thread dealing with installing tesseract Tesseract 3.0 + Ubuntu 10.04 Installation Guide Hope that helps. Tesseract is very good software.
I don't have any instructions for building Tesseract 3.03 for Linux specifically (I'm on Mac), but here's a link to download the source code for the 3.03 release candidate: https://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/archive/3.03-rc1.tar.gz
First run below command
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
It will install tesseract version 3.04
Run below to update the tesseract
sudo apt-get --only-upgrade install tesseract-ocr
It will update tesseract to 4.1.3
Upgraded dist, no problem, although lost xbmc, found documentation saying to include additional source for xbmc as install wasn't working.
installed xbmc not realising it's completely replaced/up/down graded dist.
Needless to say I've lost gnome and samba config has been modified. i can fix after i get desktop back, packages are still there but no longer referenced.
when i try an apt-get install gnome i get a lot of message about Dependants and how they're not going to be installed.
any help appreciated.
Try sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop-environment, review solution and do not accept it until you're happy with what's going to be installed/removed.
I've tried installing different libgmp's from ubuntu app center and I tried installing it manually from http://gmplib.org/#DOWNLOAD but I can't get this to configure it's an old library and I'm trying to run it on the latest version of ubuntu but I didn't think I'd have problems but I'm new to trying to use libraries like this any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've had these kind of errors installing dependencies before, and I realized that you must to force the installation of such pack having it... you didn't mention the version of your Ubuntu, so I'm assuming you're working with 12.10. But if not you always can look up for the version you are running on.
Just download the pack from here, of course, depending on your architecture, and after that run sudo apt-get -f install in order to force the installation of broken packs.
