| + | ====== Installing Binary Packages (Release 3.1.7 and below) ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Minix 3.1.7 and below provides packman to manage binary packages. Newer releases uses pkgin and pkgsrc. See [[:UsersGuide:InstallingBinaryPackages]] for the details. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Packman ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | To install new packages, you will use the //packman// program. **You must run packman as //root//.** | ||
| + | |||
| + | Packman first will ask you if you want to update the package list via the network. If you have a working network connection, answer "**Y**". | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | # packman | ||
| + | Checking for CD in /dev/c0d6p2. | ||
| + | Not found. | ||
| + | Update package list from network? (Y/n) | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | You can ignore the warning about not finding the CD if you plan on downloading packages over the network. Otherwise, you should insert a MINIX CD-ROM, and rerun //packman//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Packman then will show you this informational message: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | Showing you a list of packages using more. Press q when | ||
| + | you want to leave the list. | ||
| + | Press RETURN to continue.. | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | Press RETURN. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Packman now will present to you a list of programs to install. You can scroll through that package list by using the SPACE bar, arrow keys, or VI-style navigation.\\ | ||
| + | Then, select the packages that you wish to install. Here are some examples of how you can list packages: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | Format examples: '3', '3,6', '3-9', '3-9,11-15', 'all' | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | /!\ Selecting //all// is not recommended, as there are many packages that would be installed, and they would require significant disk space. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After you've specified the packages that you want to install, packman will ask you if you want to install the sources for the given packages: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | Get source(s) too? (y/N) | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | You safely can select "**N**" here. You probably don't want/need the sources for those packages. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Packman then will install the selected packages: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | Retrieving 11 (bash-3.0) from primary location into /usr/tmp/packages .. | ||
| + | Retrieved ok. Installing .. | ||
| + | Installed ok. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Showing you a list of packages using more. Press q when | ||
| + | you want to leave the list. | ||
| + | Press RETURN to continue.. | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | Press RETURN. Packman then will allow you to install more packages. If you are done installing packages, hit the "**q**" key twice (once to exit out of the package listing, and once again to exit packman altogether). | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Dependencies ===== | ||
| + | <!> Note: Packman does not handle dependencies; therefore, you will need to manage dependencies manually. For instance, //gcc// requires //binutils// and //gcc-libs//, so you must install //gcc-libs//, //binutils//, and //gcc//. | ||
