Generic Installation

These are generic installation procedures for packages created by epm.

Debian GNU/Linux users

	# dpkg --install packagename-version.deb

GNU/Linux users

	$ cd /tmp
	$ tar -xzf packagename-version.tar.gz
	$ su -c "./packagename.install"

Other users

	$ cd /tmp
	$ gunzip --to-stdout packagename-version.tar.gz | tar -xf -
	$ su -c "./packagename.install"

If you don't want to run the included installation script, follow these steps:

	$ cd /tmp
	$ tar -xzf packagename-version.tar.gz
	$ tar -xvf packagename.ss

Note: The installation script probably contains some postinstallation actions. So have a look at packagename.install.

Please note

Maybe these packages might not be compatible with your distributions file hierarchy. Drop me a note if you have problems or suggestions!

Some packages provide an archive named packagename-version-simple.tar.gz (or .tar.bz2). This archive is provided for those who want to have a quick look into the sources. The archive may not be complete, nor is it suitable for manual installation (in many cases). Please follow the steps mentioned in Manual installation above.
