How to install software in linux system? Many novices are not very clear about this. In order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain it in detail. People with this need can come and learn. I hope you can gain something.

To know how to install software under Linux, we first need to know about the Linux application installation package. There are three types of Linux software installation packages:

The tar package is packaged using the UNIX system packaging tool tar, such as software-1.2.3-1.tar.gz

Rpm package it is a package encapsulation format provided by Redhat Linux, such as software-1.2.3-1.i386.rpm

The dpkg package is a package encapsulation format provided by Debain Linux, such as software-1.2.3-1.deb.

The naming of most Linux application packages also has a certain rule, which follows:

Name-version-revision-Type

Installation method:

1) tar package

Unzip the file: execute the "tar-xzvf package name" command to complete the decompression and unpacking in one step

Execute the ". / configure" command to prepare for compilation

Execute the "make" command for software compilation

Execute "make install" to complete the software installation

Execute the "make clean" command to delete temporary files generated during installation

2) rpm package

There are two ways to install the rpm package:

Method 1: rpm command

Installation: rpm-ivh package name .rpm

Method 2: yum command

Yum (Yellow dog Updater, Modified) is a Shell front-end package manager in Fedora and RedHat as well as in SUSE.

Based on RPM package management, RPM packages can be downloaded and installed automatically from designated servers, dependencies can be automatically handled, and all dependent software packages can be installed at once without having to download and install them again and again. Yum provides commands to find, install, and delete one, a group, or even all of the software packages, and the commands are concise and easy to remember.

Installation: yum install package name

Deb package

There are two ways:

Dpkg command

Installation: dpkg-I package name .deb

Uninstall: dpkg-e software name

Query: query the software package currently installed on the system: dpkg-l 'package name'

Apt-get command

The apt-get command can only be used for packages in repositories, not for deb packages downloaded by yourself. If you want to handle deb packages downloaded by yourself, you can only use the dpkg command.
