Installation via *.rpm packages
Oracle Linux 9
Create packages
Download the software
As unprivileged user create the “Downloads” directory:
cd
[ -d Downloads ] || ( mkdir Downloads ; chmod 755 Downloads )
Place the dktools-4.39.1.tar.gz file in the “Downloads” directory.
Unpack archive
cd
cd Downloads
tar xzf dktools-4.39.1.tar.gz
We now have a new “dktools-4.39.1” directory.
Enable EPEL repository
For “DK tools” the wxGTK3-devel package is required to build. This package is not available in Oracle Linux 8.
One source for this package and it's dependencies is the EPEL repository.
If you want to keep your computer(s) at pure Oracle Linux without additional repositories enabled, I suggest to build the packages in a virtual machine. On the target machines install the CLI programs (dktools-cli) only, these packages do not depend on packages from outside Oracle Linux.
The steps to enable EPEL on Oracle Linux 8 are described at https://techviewleo.com/how-to-enable-epel-repository-on-oracle-linux/. The steps must be performed as root.
Short summary (as retrieved 2021-01-22):
Create the /etc/yum.repos.d/ol8-epel.repo file, contents:
[ol8_developer_EPEL]
name= Oracle Linux $releasever EPEL ($basearch)
baseurl=https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL8/developer/EPEL/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
Update DNF cache:
dnf makecache
Install RPM containing repository information:
dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
If questions are shown, confirm the installation of repositories and GPG keys.
Install required packages
As root install the required packages including developer and packager tools and build dependencies:
cd ~user/Downloads/dktools-4.39.1
sudo scripts/oracle-linux/rpm-prepare
Build packages
As unprivileged user build the packages:
scripts/oracle-linux/rpm-build
We should now have a large number of *.rpm files in the ${HOME}/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64 directory.
Packages available as local files
Install packages
As root install one of the following package sets.
To install all programs (GUI and CLI programs):
cd ~user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64
~user/Downloads/dktools-4.39.1/config/rpmbuild/el8-install-dktools
To install the command line interface programs only:
cd ~user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64
~user/Downloads/dktools-4.39.1/config/rpmbuild/el8-install-cli
Uninstall DK tools completely
As root run:
for i in `tac /usr/share/dktools/rpm-install-order.txt`
do
echo '#####' Uninstalling $i
dnf -C -y remove $i
done
Provide package repository
Set up web server
See https://docs.oracle.com/en/operating-systems/oracle-linux/8/obe-apache-install/ how to set up Apache on Oracle Linux 8.
You can skip setting up HTTPS and redirecting HTTP requests to HTTPS.
Create directory
As root run:
mkdir -p /var/www/html/el8/dktools
chmod 755 /var/www/html/el8
chmod 755 /var/www/html/el8/dktools
Modify Apache configuration
In the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file below the
<Directory /var/www/>
...
</Directory>
section add a section:
<Directory /var/www/html/el8/>
Options All Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
Restart the web server:
systemctl restart httpd
Create repository
cd /var/www/html/el8/dktools
cp ~user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/*.rpm .
rm *debuginfo*rpm
createrepo `pwd`
Update repository
Before placing upgraded versions of the packages in the repository you must delete the existing content of the repository directory.
rm -fr /var/www/html/el8/dktools/*
cd /var/www/html/el8/dktools
cp ~user/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/*.rpm .
rm *debuginfo*rpm
createrepo `pwd`
Use repository
The following steps must be performed as root on the clients.
Configure clients to access repository
On the clients (computers intended to use this repository) add a file /etc/yum.repos.d/dktools.repo containing the following text:
[DKtools]
name=DK tools
baseurl=http://192.0.2.1/el8/dktools/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
Replace 192.0.2.1 by the servers IP address.
Update package metadata on clients
Run
dnf --refresh list 'dktool*'
to update package metadata and list some packages.
Alternatively run
dnf makecache
to rebuild the metadata cache or
dnf clean all
to remove all cached data. Recent package metadata is retrieved for all repositories on next dnf call needing metadata.
Install DK tools
To install all programs (GUI and CLI programs):
dnf install dktools
To install the command line interface programs only:
dnf install dktools-cli
Uninstall DK tools completely
for i in `tac /usr/share/dktools/rpm-install-order.txt`
do
echo '#####' Uninstalling $i
dnf -C -y remove $i
done
Systemd services
The “printqd” and “rshdown” packages contain services controled by systemd. Installation of these package just installs the software but does not enable or start the services.
Enable and start the services manually after customizing the configuration files.
Fedora 42
Create packages
Download the software
As unprivileged user create the “Downloads” directory:
cd
[ -d Downloads ] || ( mkdir Downloads ; chmod 755 Downloads )
Place the dktools-4.39.1.tar.gz file in the “Downloads” directory.
Unpack archive
cd
cd Downloads
tar xzf dktools-4.39.1.tar.gz
We now have a new “dktools-4.39.1” directory.
