<title>Why was this document written?</title>
|
||||
<para>Most modern Unix-like operating systems offer a centralized mechanism for finding and installing software. Software is usually distributed in the form of packages, kept in repositories. Working with packages is known as package management. Packages provide the basic components of an operating system, along with shared libraries, applications, services, and documentation.</para>
|
||||
<para>A package management system does much more than one-time installation of software. It also provides tools for upgrading already-installed packages. Package repositories help to ensure that code has been vetted for use on your system, and that the installed versions of software have been approved by developers and package maintainers.</para>
|
||||
<para>When configuring servers or development environments, it's often necessary look beyond official repositories. Packages in the stable release of a distribution may be out of date, especially where new or rapidly-changing software is concerned. Nevertheless, package management is a vital skill for system administrators and developers, and the wealth of packaged software for major distributions is a tremendous resource.</para>
|
||||
<para>This guide is intended as a quick reference for the fundamentals of finding, installing, and upgrading packages on a variety of distributions, and should help you translate that knowledge between systems.</para></sect2><sect2>

<title>Package Management Systems: A Brief Overview</title>
|
||||
<para>Most package systems are built around collections of package files. A package file is usually an archive which contains compiled binaries and other resources making up the software, along with installation scripts. Packages also contain valuable metadata, including their dependencies, a list of other packages required to install and run them.</para>
|
||||
<para>While their functionality and benefits are broadly similar, packaging formats and tools vary by platform:</para>

<para>In Debian and systems based on it, like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Raspbian, the package format is the .debfile. APT, the Advanced Packaging Tool, provides commands used for most common operations: Searching repositories, installing collections of packages and their dependencies, and managing upgrades. APT commands operate as a front-end to the lower-level dpkg utility, which handles the installation of individual .deb files on the local system, and is sometimes invoked directly.</para>
|
||||
<para>CentOS, Fedora, and other members of the Red Hat family use RPM files. In CentOS, yum is used to interact with both individual package files and repositories.</para>
|
||||
<para>In recent versions of Fedora, yum has been supplanted by dnf, a modernized fork which retains most ofyum's interface.</para>
|
||||
<para>FreeBSD's binary package system is administered with the pkg command. FreeBSD also offers the Ports Collection, a local directory structure and tools which allow the user to fetch, compile, and install packages directly from source using Makefiles. It's usually much more convenient to use pkg, but occasionally a pre-compiled package is unavailable, or you may need to change compile-time options.</para><sect2>
|
||||
<title>Update Package Lists</title>
|
||||
<para>Most systems keep a local database of the packages available from remote repositories. It's best to update this database before installing or upgrading packages. As a partial exception to this pattern, yumand dnf will check for updates before performing some operations, but you can ask them at any time whether updates are available.</para>

<title>Upgrade Installed Packages</title>
|
||||
<para>Making sure that all of the installed software on a machine stays up to date would be an enormous undertaking without a package system. You would have to track upstream changes and security alerts for hundreds of different packages. While a package manager doesn't solve every problem you'll encounter when upgrading software, it does enable you to maintain most system components with a few commands.</para>
|
||||
<para>On FreeBSD, upgrading installed ports can introduce breaking changes or require manual configuration steps. It's best to read /usr/ports/UPDATING before upgrading with portmaster.</para>

<title>Install a Package from the Local Filesystem</title>
|
||||
<para>Sometimes, even though software isn't officially packaged for a given operating system, a developer or vendor will offer package files for download. You can usually retrieve these with your web browser, or viacurl on the command line. Once a package is on the target system, it can often be installed with a single command.</para>
|
||||
<para>On Debian-derived systems, dpkg handles individual package files. If a package has unmet dependencies, gdebi can often be used to retrieve them from official repositories.</para>
|
||||
<para>On CentOS and Fedora systems, yum and dnf are used to install individual files, and will also handle needed dependencies.</para>

In Debian and systems based on it, like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and
