Example: FriBok Swedish invoice and accounting. In general, just start a java program with java -jar thejarfile. Nice to know: the. I personalized my invoice formatting. Sometimes you just have to though. Here is an example installing a Canon printer driver using the vendor rpm but without using their install script.
In Mageia development release "Cauldron", there may exist a newer version you need of a program. You can then often download that rpm and rebuild it to suit the Mageia release you run, see How to do your own backports. An rpm from another distro can often be rebuilt for Mageia. Please refer to Packagers RPM tutorial. A good source for the best suitable package candidates is Fedora.
Also see our forum thread How to rebuild an src. Example: How to repackage and install Spotify. Some have an installer script. It may be a good idea to look into the script to see what it does - you may want it in some other way, or not need to run it. Some programs are just a binary file you set executable permission on, and run.
Other may come as a. Other programs may come like a compressed folder tree you unpack where you want it, read any documents like readme and help files you find in it, and run the executable.
Like always it is good to start non-Mageia packaged programs the first time from the command line in a terminal so you see any messages, like missing dependencies. This directory is intended for non-official packages. Instead of that triology above, you can use checkinstall to generate an rpm:.
You will then get an rpm that can be installed using urpmi , and can also be uninstalled when you want to. If the tarball already includes a good spec file, it is even easier:. Mageia has the development suite so you may load the source in QtCreator and compile and launch it from there, also for debug, edit, development. Or for just compiling it you can use qmake , see example for shematic program QElectroTech.
Wine can be used to translate system calls between MSWindows programs and the Linux system. It works for a lot of programs but not all.
Install wine from our repos - wine64 if you run 64 bit Mageia, and then also wine32 32 bit support. For Wine32 and PlayOnLinux too, you may need to manually install libmesagl1 and libmesaglu1 mga , and libjpeg8 mga as some programs need them. For more thorough and more automated configuring including help to download libraries and programs: install from our repo and run q4wine.
See home page. Once you have marked all the applications you wish to remove, click the 'Apply' button to remove them. Just as with any computer, you should update your Mageia system regularly.
The MageiaUpdate tool is provided for this purpose. Like rpmdrake, MageiaUpdate can be run in several ways. The first time you run MageiaUpdate, it will ask your permission to connect to the Mageia servers in order to download a list of sites from which it can download updates. If you give your permission, it will then ask you which mirror site to use. Pick one close to your geographical location. MageiaUpdate will then connect to the site, download a list of available updates, and present you with a list of all available updates for packages installed on your system.
All security and bugfix updates will be pre-selected. When the kernel is updated you will see more boot entries in GRUB, the boot loader, menu, that's because kernels are installed in parallel, i. Therefore you may find some applications you wish to install are not found when you search in rpmdrake. This does not mean you cannot easily gain access to these applications, however. With the help of another utility, you can configure your system to use a public Mageia mirror site as an application repository, and access the entire range of applications available.
If you agree, it will walk you through a simple process to add these repositories. Also if you install Mageia using the LiveCD edition these repositories will be added automatically when you boot the installed system for the first time if there's an active internet connection available. You would need to enable the Non-free and Non-free Updates repositories. That command lists only enabled repositories so you will see more media sources listed in 'Configure media sources for install and update' but not activated by default.
This is normal. If you don't have the above repositories then you can add them manually by following these steps:. Once the process is complete, you can run rpmdrake as described above, and you will have access to a wider range of applications. As a complement to the graphical software management applications discussed above, there is a range of console software management applications which share the same software repositories so you can use either the console applications, the graphical applications, or switch between the two.
A full explanation of these applications is outside the scope of this page. More information is available at this page. Mageia has tools that will help you with the first aspect and fully take care of the other three aspects for you. We strongly recommend that you use them.
These tools are:. You can find them in the Mageia Control Center :. These are graphical tools. The first thing to do after an install is to add software sources a. That means you must select the media sources that will be used to install and update packages and applications. This is a wise choice if you are not an expert because the sources are safe, automatically match your distribution release, architecture, It is the easiest way since the system will automatically choose the media sources that seem the best for you depending on your geographical location, bandwidth, In the Mageia Control Center, click on Software management on the left and on Configure media sources for install and update.
If you have a good internet connection, it is better to only use the official online repositories. To install the official online repositories, click on Add. You will then be asked for permission to retrieve the mirror list. Answer Yes to proceed. After a while depending on your bandwidth , you will see the available media list. Note that using the automatic way, the column "Type" says "Mirror list".
By default, only the more tested media are enabled for example, Testing is not enabled. Similarly, updates are possible from the media with the Update column ticked.
