Title: Installing software offline
Post by: ras125 on August 14, 2009, 04:18:11 PM

How can I add software to an SME 7.4 server which is running on a network permanently off-line?

Thank you,

Ralph

Download the needed rpm-file, put it on your SME-Box and install it with "yum install <filename>". Dependecy-checks will fail though. Or get many needed rpm-files, put then into an empty(!) directory and install them with "yum install *".

Thank you. I downloaded and tried to install smeserver-diskusage-0.0.1-2dmay.noarch by typing
"yum install smeserver-diskusage-0.0.1-2dmay.noarch". sme attempts to go to some external sites and returns an error. I don't see other messages. Is there anything (or a lot of things) I'm doing wrong?

Sorry, my mistake. Installing files from harddisk is yum localinstall. So try a "yum localinstall smeserver-diskusage-0.0.1-2dmay.noarch.rpm".

Thanks! The installation went without a glitch, all dependencies locally solved.

You do realize that running SME off-line will cripple it's semi-automatic update function?

Yes, but unfortunately bringing it online is not an option. I resigned myself to just installing CD's with new releases as they come out.
