Red Hat / Fedora :: Command To Install TAR (GZ) Package?
May 25, 2011
I have to install filezilla, I've got this file
FileZilla_3.5.0_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
Opening it I see all the files and the folders where to put those files, but I guess there is a command to unpack it directly in the correct folders.
I'm using a new Distro and after installing it and randomly searching for help on websites on how to install a .Deb file using dpkg at the konsole/terminal it says Bash : dpkg: Command not found . how is this possible ? Do I have to know about all the packages in the package manager to install this. slight difference for me ... knowing what I have and knowing if I need Apr93-323? (whatever) installed first or not ? The only thing I know is that I have the Iso image installed ... which is my linux distro . Where to go from here? because I usually go to a website site to find Software to install ...if I need it .back to the basics
Sometimes i have on some magazines or Internet Zip packages that are the answer of what i am looking for.
Wich tool and how can i do it? c Well, i am in position to say that i had downloaded from Internet or located the package in the Cd or DVD that comes with the magazine.
But now comes the big question. How can i put this package ( install) on my distro ???
Do i have to be a normal user or should it be root or su (superuser) ?
The packages that come with the distro is easy, because i select them and everything is done
As i told before, maybe this is a silly question, but i simple don't know how to install them and i need some of them to leave MS for good.
I installed ubuntu 10.10 server from an usb stick. I do not have access to a wired connection and do not have a CD drive, so now I need to configure the wireless connection.for that I need to have wireless-tools which if i am not wrong are not installed by default so the question is: how can I install the wireless-tools package from an usb using only command line? note: I got internet access from another ubuntu-desktop PC so i can download any package needed, etc.
when i was about to install turbo c using dosbox in ubuntu on the console i typed the commandas sudo apt-get install dosbox the error occured as E:couldnt find the package dosbox

As topic, I have trouble with compiling brlcad as this thread. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=249899
I assume the last problem I encounter was lack of development package in the system. Hence, I tried "yum install Xorg-devel" and the terminal reply"No package xorg-x11-devel available."
I'm trying to get my bearings in Fedora 13 (64-bit) in a virtual machine.I'm using the version with the Gnome DE.Now I'd like to install Koffice. But when I got to the package manager to select packages to install, I get a huge list of components to select for installation -- Kwrite, Kspread, Core support for Koffice, Libraries needed for Koffice, etc.Is there any way to select the version of Koffice that I want and have the whole set of necessary packages automatically be selected too?
I just reinstalled fedora and I cant run any movie now, I tried to install MPlayer, vlc, xine for 1 hr but dint work, no yum is found I don't know what's going on, vlc never worked for me I never got it but I never had problem installing mplayer
Code: [root@localhost ~]# yum -y install mplayer mplayer-gui mplayer-skins mplayer-fonts gecko-mediaplayer Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments No package mplayer available. No package mplayer-gui available. No package mplayer-skins available. No package mplayer-fonts available. No package gecko-mediaplayer available. Nothing to do
This is what I am getting same for vlc. I even tried yum -y install mplayer and very sort of thing but the above command worked for me previous time I don't know what's going on this time.
I cannot yum install mplayer nor vlc: Code: #yum install mplayer mplayer-gui gecko-mediaplayer mencoder vlc Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process No package mplayer available. No package mplayer-gui available. No package gecko-mediaplayer available. No package mencoder available. No package vlc available. Nothing to do

And I have done a yum clean all.
My question is: How to skip the installation of a package when using yum update from the command line? i.e., How would one update a system from command line and skip/not update kernel?
I've been trying to install xine & some other useful applications on F13, but yum keeps giving me errors of not being able to open package kit or something. Also having issues installing Mplayer all package for patching useful multimedia codecs for amarok, totem and rythmbox players.

I am using Fedora Core 4. While trying to install a package or update yum repository I get the following error
# yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: legacy-base failure: repodata/repomd.xml from legacy-base: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
tried to search the web but couldn't find any working solution.
I've used yum (and rpm) for some time now, and have finally run into one of those dependency problem. I am trying to install git (among other programs), and I have reach an empass. Nothing I've tried has worked, and I just know there is a simple solution to this that I just don't know. It all started by skipping a dependency in the past (don't remember the package). I figured there would be something to clean that up, so I just continued.
Here is my output: Code: # yum install git Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit, security Adding en_US to language list Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Excluding mirror: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de Excluding mirror: wftp.tu-chemnitz.de * livna: rpm.livna.org * rpmfusion-free: mirror.hiwaay.net ..... --> Processing Dependency: perl(Error) for package: perl-Git-1.7.3.3-1.fc14.noarch --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: perl-Git-1.7.3.3-1.fc14.noarch (updates) Requires: perl(Error) Error: Package: git-1.7.3.3-1.fc14.i686 (updates) Requires: perl(Error) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
If I need to, I could go and download the RPM package and install it that way, but I'd like to get YUM back working properly.
I just bought a netbook that came with Ubuntu. I partitioned the drive so I can multiboot and have put Fedora Core 12 LXDE spin next to Ubuntu netbook edition. The netbook is System76 manufacturer and they have put all their drivers in a .deb package. How can I use this file in Fedora Core 12?
why status of fedora-source is 0, dose this means there's no available packages in this repo? kernel-headers and kernel-devel have been installed, how can i install the kernel-source package?
I do quite a bit of testing of a FOSS package, which I install from rpm. At any one time there may be 3 versions ( current release, new release candidate, and snapshot of trunk) that I wish to test. If I stick to normal naming conventions (i.e. current release fred-2010.0...rpm, release candidate fred-2010.2...rpm, and trunk fred-2010.3...rpm) it seems to me that I can only have one version installed at any one time. Is there a 'proper' way of managing this (using the package manager), so that I can have multiple versions installed at any one time?
