I'm new to Linux and I'm trying to install a program called OpenSSL. I'm following a guide and it says to download the tar file, so i created a directory called Website_Related with the path
~/Downloads/Website_Related
and downloaded the tar file from that directory with the command
wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.2o.tar.gz
This went fine. Then the guide says to execute the following command
$ ./config \
--prefix=/opt/openssl \
--openssldir=/opt/openssl \
enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128
I tried executing this command from the same directory where I downloaded the file to and I get an error "No such file or directory". I also tried executing the command from my home directory and got the same error. The guide gives an explanation for the "enable-ec_nist_64_gcc_128" but not the rest of the command.
What is going on here? I did some research and saw . is often a directory having to do with configuration in your home directory, and I can see it in my home directory with
ls -a
command, but if i try to go into it with
cd .
that fails. Could someone please explain to me what this ./config command is attempting to do, and why it is failing?
Thank you.
You need to unpack it first:
tar vxf openssl-1.0.2o.tar.gz
I made installers for my application, it works on Windows and Mac, but when I try to run the .sh installer file on linux, it fails with this error:
gzip: sfx_archive.tar.gz: not in gzip format
I am sorry, but the installer file seems to be corrupted. If you downloaded that file please try it again. If you transfer that file with ftp please make sure that you are using binary mode.
How can I solve this?
Thanks.
The error message describes the probable reason:
I am sorry, but the installer file seems to be corrupted. If you
downloaded that file please try it again. If you transfer that file with
ftp please make sure that you are using binary mode.
You probably transferred it to the Linux machine in such a way that the line endings were replaced or the installer script was truncated.
This may be because you opened the file in a text viewer, which can change some aspects of the file. Try redownloading it and running it without opening it.
chmod +x install_file.sh
./install_file.sh
I imagine the problem is that you're attempting to extract sfx_archive.tar.gz using tar with the z flag, and that it's not actually gzip compressed.
I would try substituting your current tar command with the following:
tar -xvf sfx_archive.tar.gz
I am trying to install eclipse in a linux box via terminal using below command but it doesn't work.
wget "http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/luna/SR2/eclipse-jee-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz&mirror_id=454"
When it gets downloaded, I see this file name which is wrong?
download.php?file=%2Ftechnology%2Fepp%2Fdownloads%2Frelease%2Fluna%2FSR2%2Feclipse-jee-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
Instead it should be - eclipse-jee-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz What's wrong?
I renamed the file to correct name and tried untarring it but I get an error as shown below:
tar -xvzf eclipse-jee-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
What's wrong?
Using wget for eclipse Java
command is :
wget http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.eclipse.org/eclipseMirror/technology/epp/downloads/release/2022-03/202203101200/eclipse-java-2022-03-R-linux-gtk-aarch64.tar.gz
You can change the release of eclipse in the URI. See this link for more information. I hope that's useful for you.
Any URL which includes download.php will have this problem with wget, even the so called "Direct Link".
With more recent download pages however, there is a way to find the actual URLs, and that's to look inside the xml file that download.php uses for mirror selection.
For example, if we go to the Eclipse IDE 2020-03 page, most of the URLs are download.php links, but in the "Other options for this file" side bar, we can see an xml link.
If we navigate there with our web browser and then look at the page source, we can see the actual file URL used by every mirror. Depending on the Web Browser used, the page may be blank, in which case we need to look at the Page Source to see the raw xml and thus the URLs.
For me, in the UK, the UK mirror service site would be my best option:
<mirror url="http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.eclipse.org/eclipseMirror/oomph/epp/2020-03/R/eclipse-inst-win64.exe" label="[United Kingdom] UK Mirror Service (http)" />
These (actually) direct URLs do work with wget.
Looks like issue with the download link form eclipse website itself.
Please try with the below URL (I have tested it in Ubuntu 14 and its working)
http://eclipse.stu.edu.tw/technology/epp/downloads/release/luna/SR2/eclipse-jee-luna-SR2-linux-gtk.tar.gz
Using a Debian variant?
sudo apt-get install eclipse
Otherwise, I think you just copied the link from the main Eclipse download page, which is a link to another page which grabs the fastest mirror for the download of the file.
For example, the link it gave me is this, which downloads fine
http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/software/eclipse/technology/epp/downloads/release/luna/SR2/eclipse-jee-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
After that, the answer is mostly contained on AskUbuntu: How to install Eclipse?
If you're Using Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
$ wget file-link
Downloaded file might look like this :- download.php?file=%2Foomph%2Fepp%2F2022-06%2FR%2Feclipse-inst-jre-linux64.tar.gz
Execute following command:
1.First Move to download directory.
2.Execute tar -xvf eclipse-inst-jre-linux64.tar.gz
3.Move to Dir - cd eclipse-installer
4. Execute ./eclipse-inst. It will ask you which dev mode you want to install please select and click next.
Once installed successfully you will get can see launch icon.
Use a console version of oomph installer:
Download Console Oomph Installer, choose the appropriate download for your target platform (zip or tar.gz), example for Linux:
wget -O installer.tar.gz https://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=com/github/a-langer/org.eclipse.oomph.console.product/1.0.1/org.eclipse.oomph.console.product-1.0.1-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz
Extract archive and change current directory:
tar -xvzf installer.tar.gz
cd eclipse-installer/
Install "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers":
./eclipse-inst -nosplash -application org.eclipse.oomph.console.application -vmargs \
-Doomph.installation.location="$PWD/ide" \
-Doomph.product.id="epp.package.java"
Wait for the installation to complete, last version of Eclipse will be installed in "$PWD/ide".

I hope to pack the nodejs(includes its installed module via npm) and javascript code to one execute file for different plateform(windows, osx, linux).
Is it possible or any solution?
Your comment welcome
From my understanding, you can't really create an executable file for multiplatforms. Each platform has it's own packaging format to make it binary executable. What you can do is to create a x.tar.gz file and expand it to your target platform. I myself haven't done it but theoretically it's possible. Here is an example (assuming you're using GNU tar for all your platforms):
To pack it, do:
tar cvzf nodeproject.tar.gz nodeproject
To expand, do
tar xvzf nodeproject.tar.gz
I get the error as above when trying to build Berkeley database version 4.5.20. I have unzipped the archive to /opt on UNIX. Please can anyone tell me what I need?
I do the following:
Uncompress berkeley-db package in
some directory. say in /opt
cd to the build_unix directory
../dist/configure
When I run the last command it gives me the error as above. Does anyone know what I am missing here? Options? Another download?
Please make sure that you have correct file permissions for the distribution folder.
Try chmod +w -R /opt/db-4.5.20
