Linux Activity Based Learning – 30/July/2024

Linux Software Installations

• Any application is an executable
• Installing sofware is all about ensuring executables are present in the system.
• For doing this we have 3 approaches
  • From Source code
  • From Binaries
  • From packages
• To simplify this we have package managers

From binaries

• We can try installing
  • openjdk
  • maven Refer Here
  • tomcat

Linux Packages

• In the linux world we have two popular packages
  • debian package (.deb)
    • sudo dpkg
  • redhad package (.rpm)
    • sudo rpm

Applications on Linux

• Standalone
• Service/Daemons:
  • This is an application which runs in the background
  • This should start automatically when the system starts (Enable)
  • To configure services we will have to deal with service files and systemctl commands
