Package management also allows software packages to be uninstalled in a safe manner, that is without breaking the dependencies. As far as I can see now, there are about three different ways to install software on a linux system. In no particular order: 1: packages, 2: plain copying of files, usually after tar.

Package Management and Repositories The Synaptic Package manager is just a front-end to the package management process. It's hooked up to one or more package repositories , offering a myriad of applications, or extensions to applications to be installed.

Using the Synaptic Package Manager, installing an application is as easy as checking the packages of interest and confirming.

There's also a command line interface to access the repositories. Depending upon the repository wherein the package resides, the necessary files are downloaded from the internet, or read from your CD. The preconfigured Ubunutu repositories are really extensive. There's really a lot of stuff you can get there.

I'm looking at distinct packages, in about a hundred categories. It's huge. Of course, some of these are different versions of the same packages, and some of these are things like language packs for a particular 'real' application, but there's really a lot of stuff available, ranging from Core System components to Games to Mathematical packages to Multimedia.

There's just to much to sum it up here. The disadvantadge of packages is that there must be some sort of authority that maintains the repositories and package products. This means that there will always be some sort of lag between the release of new software and the processes of packaging it and integrating the new packages with the repositories. MySQL 5.

Although I thought I'd read most of the manual, I discovered that I in fact never did read Chapter 2! I simply never needed to review this documentation, as the installation process from the Windows Binary Distributions I used to download before is really self-explanatory.

Chapter 2. It's probably safe to say that in most of cases, one should choose for a binary distribution. After deciding to go for a binary installation, there are again two choices.

Should you install a pre-packaged RPM binary distribution or a tarball a gzip-compressed, tar-bundled distribution. According to the book, RPM is not exclusively targeted towards the Redhat Linux distribution, despite it's name. This is acually a tool just like the synaptic package manager, at least functionally: it is designed to install software distributions and to maintain a database of the installed files in order to manage dependencies, upgrades and deinstallations.

There's a different RPM covering a particular part of funcitonality: server, testsuite, client, libraries and headers etcetera. You can decide for yourself what suits you best. The v option stands for verbose, which is supposed to generate descriptive output concerning the installation process.

The bash: rpm: command not found bit is returned by the bash command shell program. It informed me that the rpm tool was not found on my system. So, I searched the synaptic package manager for the string "rpm", and lo and behold, it returned me a list of packages, one of wich was titled "rpm". It was not checked, indicating is wasn't installed yet on my system.

However, it did not install the software. Here, I was getting errors too, but this time, the errors were generated by the rpm tool itself. Now, glancing over some pages from the Ubuntu website, I had already learned that Ubuntu is in fact based on Debian.
