Three methods for installing software in linux

1. the most basic compilation source code, and then install. the/configure [options] make www.2cto.com make install file extension is generally: tar.gz tar.bz2 2.RPM[ install the compiled software Package RPM [Redhat Package Manager] redhat Package management method. Applicable to the rpm install [options] command. Rpm not only has compiled the software source code into a binary file. Statistics are also made on the software and system environment that the software package depends on. File Extension: rpm also has a SRPM: not compiled into a binary file, but also contains the rpm feature. 3. install the software in rpm mode in YUM mode. If the dependent software is not installed in advance, the software cannot be installed successfully. To solve this problem, the YUM method is introduced. Since the software dependent on www.2cto.com is not installed on the machine, install them first, and then install the software I want to install. In this way, yum installs dependent software when installing software. As you can imagine, a YUM Server is needed to place dependent software sources and compare the RPM software libraries on the installed machines. In fact, it is also based on RPM. Because the linux system has many branches, the installation software derives two branches from the second method: Red Hat/Fedora: rpm yum Debian/Ubuntu: DPKG apt-get
