Title: Install for sme server
Post by: Eli on August 20, 2003, 04:24:13 PM

I searched and couldn't find. How do I install an add-on to sme server 5.6, if possible straight from the internet?

Thanks in advanced.

I had the same question, but found this in FAQ.......

********************
How do I install/upgrade RPMs?
In order to install RPM packages to any RedHat based system one should familiarize oneself with the rpm command. The most commonly used forms of rpm:

This command will format and display the on-line manual pages for the rpm command:

man rpm

This command says (i)nstall package_name, with (v)erbose output and print (h)ashes for a nice display as archive is unpacked.:

rpm -ivh package_name-version.rpm

Similarly, this command says (U)pgrade package_name, with (v)erbose output and print (h)ashes for a nice display as archive is unpacked.:

rpm -Uvh package_name-version.rpm

The general form of the rpm uninstall command is:

rpm -e package_name-version.rpm

"-U" is preferred, as it will install or upgrade as required. Using "-i" will barf if you try to upgrade an already installed package.

Wrong. It's:

rpm -e package_name

or

rpm -e package_name-version
