Installing Applications in FreeBSD wengyc

Computer Center, CS, NCTU Before we start Permission issue root: the superuser In Unix-like system, root is the conventional name of the user who has all rights or permissions (to all files and programs) in all modes (single- or multi-user) Like administrator in M Windows Don’t execute commands as root directly It’s DANGEROUS But sometimes you still need to be root to do something Install software Manage system file Create/modify/delete users 2

Computer Center, CS, NCTU 3 Before we start Become root Console login with root By default, you cannot login as root via SSH Change current user Don’t need to login with console Use command ‘su -’, and them type root’s password To see which credit you are using, use ‘whoami’ nctucs [ ] -wangth- whoami wangth nctucs [ ] -wangth- su Password: nctucs [ ] -wangth- whoami root

Computer Center, CS, NCTU 4 Before we start As mentioned before, don’t run as root directly Can we execute with root’s credential only for some specific commands? Like ‘Run as administrator’ in Windows Is there similar commands in FreeBSD?

Computer Center, CS, NCTU Before we start Run commands with other user’s permission ‘sudo’ command Only simplest explanation here for basic usage ‘sudo’ syntax and other details will explain in later chapter Here only tell you how to simply enable ‘sudo’ How to enable sudo? ‘sudo’ is not a built-in command, need to be installed manually 5

Computer Center, CS, NCTU 6 Before we start – Enable ‘sudo’ (1) Install the package Check Internet connection ping 168.95.1.1 Become root (su -) Execute ‘pkg install sudo’ This will install ‘sudo’ from Internet Type ‘Y’( means yes) when it asks for conformation

Computer Center, CS, NCTU Before we start – Enable ‘sudo’ (2) Allowing your user to execute ‘sudo’ Switch to root first Type ‘visudo’ to edit the sudoer file Specific who can use ‘sudo’ ## ## User privilege specification ## root ALL (ALL) ALL wangth ALL (ALL) ALL Save the file and exit, back to normal user Use ‘logout’ command or press Ctrl D 7

Computer Center, CS, NCTU Before we start – Using ‘sudo’ Now, you can prepend ‘sudo’ before commands to run them as root But please think carefully before you type Execute commands with ‘sudo’ sudo whoami You have root’s credential sudo pkg install vim Install software without become root directly You need to re-type your password Don’t need to re-type within 5 minutes 8

Computer Center, CS, NCTU 9 Install software Package Pre-built Like most of installer (.msi) in Windows Other Unix-like system: rpm, yum, dpkg, apt, FreeBSD: pkg Source Compile the source files first and then install Tar ball, a pack of source code tar -xzf certain-source.tar.gz cd certain-source ./configure --help ./configure [options ] make make install (root permission)

Computer Center, CS, NCTU Install software : Overview Three technologies Packages Ports Tar ball Packages pre-built ports, contain pre-compiled copies of all the commands for the application, as well as any configuration files or documentation Ports a collection of files designed to automate the process of compiling an application from source code and additional patches a set of Makefile, patches, description files, Both packages and ports understand dependencies Tar ball 10 fetch it, configure the installation options, and compile it by yourself NO DEPENDENCY CHECKING.

Computer Center, CS, NCTU Overview Package benefits Packages do not require any additional compilation Benefit for slow machines Ports benefits You can tweak the compilation options to generate code that is specific to a different processor – speed Some applications have compile time options relating to what they can and cannot do – customization Why tar ball? Some software cannot be found in ports collection Some latest version of software may have new configurations that do not exist in port 11

Computer Center, CS, NCTU Package System (1) pkg New generation of FreeBSD package system Install new software Fetch packages from Internet pkg install names of packages pkg install vim screen tmux Run with root’s permission (sudo) Automatically update the database By default invoking either of pkg install or pkg upgrade will cause repository catalogues to be updated automatically Perform dependency check Will install software that required by new software 12

Computer Center, CS, NCTU Package System (2) Upgrade currently installed software pkg upgrade names of packages pkg upgrade vim pkg upgrade Upgrade all installed software This will also update the database Update packages database only pkg update Delete a package pkg delete names of packages pkg delete php53 13

Computer Center, CS, NCTU Package System (3) Show information about installed packages pkg info Show all installed packages Use ‘grep’ to find specific packages – pkg info grep vim pkg info name of package Show detailed information pkg info php56 Show version of installed packages pkg version pkg version -v nctucs [ ] -wangth- pkg version -v bash-4.3.46 1 needs updating (remote has 4.4.12 2) bind99-9.9.9P8 1 needs updating (remote has 9.9.10P3) ca root nss-3.32 up-to-date with remote 14

Computer Center, CS, NCTU How to use ports Obtain the ports collection List of ports available to be installed into system We should Find the application Change to the directory for the port Ports will Fetch the tar ball Ask for configuration friendly Compile the source code Install your application Deinstall process 15

Computer Center, CS, NCTU Obtaining the Ports Collection (1/2) portsnap(8) Fetch and update your port tree fetch, extract, update, cron sudo portsnap fetch extract update /etc/portsnap.conf sudo vim /etc/portsnap.conf SERVERNAME portsnap.tw.FreeBSD.org https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/po rts-using.html 16

Computer Center, CS, NCTU Obtaining the Ports Collection (2/2) svn(1) / svnlite Install Root SSL certificates to allows Subversion to verify the identity of HTTPS repository servers pkg install ca root nss Checkout from a given repository svn checkout https://svn.FreeBSD.org/repository/branch lwcdir – sudo svn checkout https://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/head /usr/ports Update the local working copy svn update lwcdir – sudo svn update /usr/ports https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/svn.html 17

Computer Center, CS, NCTU 18 Obtaining the Ports Collection Port directory /usr/ports/ category / name

Computer Center, CS, NCTU 19 Ports system (1) Find your application cd /usr/ports make search name program name make search key string liuyh@NASA /usr/ports make search name zh-mutt Port: zh-mutt-devel-1.5.20 20090629 Path: /usr/ports/chinese/mutt Info: The Mongrel of Mail User Agents with Chinese support Maint: [email protected] B-deps: autoconf-2.62 autoconf-wrapper-20071109 automake-1.10.1 automake-wrapper-20071109 gettext-0.17 1 libiconv-1.13.1 m4-1.4.13,1 perl-5.8.9 3 zh-autoconvert-0.3.16 R-deps: gettext-0.17 1 libiconv-1.13.1 mime-support-3.46.1 zh-autoconvert-0.3.16 WWW: http://www.mutt.org/

Computer Center, CS, NCTU 24 Deinstall Applications Two methods pkg delete Find the package name via pkg info Dependency check Disable dependency check – -f : force – pkg delete -f names of packages make deinstall Change to the ports directory make deinstall Delete it anyway Similar to ‘pkg delete -f’
