Installing Binary Packages
The two package managers supported are APT (*.deb) and RPM (*.rpm). The
supplied packages are limited to a few instances of operating systems and
versions. These are:
- Debian 10 Buster (APT)
- CentOS 7 and 8 (RPM)
A challenge in building packages exists due to the versions of dependent
packages. Once built, a package can become broken or out of date as dependent
packages evolve. The compressed TAR source archives contain package building
files (*.dsc for APT, *.spec for RPM). These provide a starting point for those
wishing to build custom packages for their own specific operating system
instance. If you have a 32 bit system, these package building files may also be
useful if you wish to go the package route. Otherwise, the most likely route to
success is to build from the source (see section 2.3).
