Today's question: How to install Linux application software


A: For normal users, installation or upgrade software can be installed and managed using Red Hat's package rpm. After use you can easily install the software, upgrade the software and uninstall the software and query the software information.


If you are installing Red Hat Linux, then you can use RPM, if not, you can install the RPM first. Here's how:


1. Download the RPM package: ftp://www.11.qixoo.com/ftp.redhat.com/pub/code/rpm/rpm-2.3.11.tar.gz


2. On the Linux command line, run the following sequence:


cd/

Tar xzvf rmp-2.3.11.tar.gz

CD rpm-2.3.11

./configure

Make

Make install

mkdir/var/local/var/local/lib/var/local/lib/rpm/var/lib/rpm


This allows you to complete the RPM installation, and later you can find the RPM version of the software on the Web or on the CD. then using RPM for installation, the RPM method is simple:


1. Install the package with RPM: RPM-IVH Software file name


For example, the name of the package and the installation progress bar will be printed on the RPM-IVH fvwm95-2.0.43a.chinese-1.i386.rpm screen:


FVWM95 ###############


When the progress bar go to the end, the Chinese fvwm95 (a X-window interface) is installed, and then run X-window, ah, the whole Chinese fvwm95 in front of me.


2. Reverse install package with RPM: RPM-E software name


Example: Rpm-e fvwm95


3. Upgrading packages with RPM: RPM-UVH software upgrade file name


For example: RPM-UVH fvwm95-2.1.0a.chinese-1.i386.rpm,rpm automatically reinstall the original old version, install the upgraded version of the software into the system. How about, not hard!
