Installing packages using dselect
Debian and Ubuntu users can use
dselect,
a convenient way to install package lists.
First we install
dselect:
koha@li190- 245: -/kohaclone$ sudo apt -get install dselect
Next, we select what needs to be installed by pointing to the file containing the list
of packages:
koha @li190 -245: -/kohaclone$ sudo dpkg -- set -selections < install_misc/
debian.packages
Finally we install the selected packages:
koha @li190 -245: -/kohaclone$ sudo dselect
From the dselect screen, we will need to execute the install, configure, and delete
options in sequence.
Installing Perl modules using CPAN
We use the CPAN shell to install only those Perl modules that are not available in
your distribution's sources.
We can install such modules from inside the CPAN shell, like this:
koha @li190 -245:- /kohaclone$ sudo cpan
cpan[1]> install HTTP::OAI
Install multiple modules using a single statement:
cpan[2]> install IPC::Cmd Net::LDAP Net::LDAP::Filter
Net::Z3950::ZOOM Text::CSV::Encoded
Another way of doing it is from the Linux shell:
koha @li190 -245: -> sudo cpan HTTP::OAI
Here is how we install modules from the Linux shell:
koha @li190 -245: -> sudo cpan IPC::Cmd Net::LDAP Net::LDAP::Filter
Net::Z3950::ZOOM Text::CSV::Encoded
