After installed a new operating system, it has a roughly understanding of the procedure comes with the operating system. I believe that everyone's interest must be a lot, then you will want to install some you need it.
Application software. Installing and configuring the application software in the Linux system, which has long been recognized as one of Linux's soft ribs, because Linux is not as simple as Microsoft Windows.
Setup-and-Run installation method. However, with the improvement of desktop environments such as KDE and GNOME, the difficulty of installing application software in Linux has been reduced. First talk about Redhat Linux 9.0
A few software installation methods.
Three major software installation methods
1. Install through the RPM package
Speak rpm (redhat package)
Management) Standard software package, you may think of the famous Redhat company, is the emergence of the RPM package release, making it easy to install the application software in Linux.
. If the user wants to install software issued in RPM, simply enter the command "rpm -ivh xxx.rpm".
For example, users want to install OpenOffice.org-1.0.1.rpm packages, simply enter the command "rpm -ivh openoffice.org-1.0.1.rpm". RPM package
Another advantage is that it can easily delete the installed RPM software package, as long as RPM-E
The openoffice.org-1.0.1 "command will be able to delete the openOffice.org-1.0.1.rpm installed from the hard disk. If you are installed / deleted in the X-WINDOW environment
For a better way, if you use KDE, you can use the KPackage program that comes with KDE to add or delete the software. If you use GNOME, you can use GNORPM.
The program is managed on the software. These two programs are very similar to the "Add / Remove Programs" feature in Microsoft Windows. Software with RPM software package is the most easy to install and manage, suggestions
Everyone will use this model to manage the software. 2.Tar.gz (TGZ) package installation
Software packages with tar.gz to extension are packaged and compressed with Gzip programs with a tar program. To install this package, you need to decompress the package first, use "TAR
-zxfv filename.tar.gz "can decompress the package, unzip the resulting file in the directory named filename. Enter the directory, you can see the text of the decompressed
Pieted.
Various software has different installation methods, but there are installs and readme files after each software is compressed, and there will be detailed installation guides in the help file. Tar.gz or
TGZ packaged software has a shortcoming, which is generally without automatic anti-installations. If you need to delete the already installed, you have to take care of the security in Makefile.
Pack the path and file name, these have some difficulty in beginners.
3.Tar.bz2 package installation
Software packets with tar.bz2 are extensions, is packaged with a TAR program and compressed with BZIP2 program. Its advantage is that the compression ratio is very high, it needs to be used "bunzip2
Filename.tar.bz2 "is decompressed. But with the same shortcomings with the TAR.GZ software package, it is very troublesome to delete.
Understand the installation and deletion of the software, you must now be jumped, want to install some software you like?
Use QQ in Linux
As one of the most famous chat software in China, QQ has a great impact in the majority of netizens, and Teng Xun has not launched QQ Linux version. If you can't use QQ under Linux,
That will be a big regret. However, this is difficult to fly freely, and enthusiastic users have launched instant communication software GAIM, install a QQ plugin on GAIM, so you can use QQ log in to log in to LINUX.
GAIM was originally designed as a client of AOL instant messaging software AIM. From its name, GAIM is actually GNU AIM. In the field of instant messaging, another stove
The giant competition under the Windows platform is obviously unreal, so Gaim's developers find a wonderful entry point. Gaim itself does not have communication functions, but using plugins (pass
Often a plug-in is a library file extension as SO. In Windows, the extension is the dynamic link library named DLL), so there is a long advantage of Bo Cai. Thanks to modular settings
The ideological and source code open, GAIM grows rapidly.
LIBQQ is a GAIM plug-in that supports QQ protocol under the Linux platform. It has initially implemented some of the most basic functions of QQ software under Windows, which is largely available.
Use QQ requirements under Linux (support for point-to-point messaging).
There are some payments to use GAIM in Linux. There are some payments that require the corresponding version of GAIM to match the corresponding version of the libqq plugin, and version requirements are strictly met. Recommended GAIM 0.62
Libqq for Gaim
0.62, this is a combination of the majority of players to reflect the use effect, you can at http://www.linuxeden.com/download/winapps/gaim-0.62-libqqqpatched.
Tar.gz Download the software. Since the software release is issued by the source code, you need to recompile the software after downloading, so you need to pre-install the GCC compiler. 1. Install "TAR-XZFV GAIM-0.62-libqqqqqqqqpatched.tar.gz" to decompress the package, then enter the decompressed GAIM-0.62 directory, read install carefully
software. According to the software installation method previously introduced, first carefully set the configuration before the software installation: Run ./configure command, this command will check if the system-related environmental information is satisfied.
Install and make a certain installation configuration, this process will take a certain time, please be patient. After configure is running, please follow the Make to compile, then use make
Check for compilation results, and finally install the software using Make Install. After installation, you can start GAIM and QQ plugin with the GAIM command (Figure 1).
figure 1
If you use Gaim for the first time, you need to load the corresponding plugin. GAIM provides a lot of protocol plugins for a lot of timely chat programs, such as MSN, ICQ, Yahoo Messager, etc.
Here we need to load the plugin of the QQ protocol, as shown in Figure 2. Then select the directory where we provide the QQ protocol plugin, click this file name, then select "Load" if you
The GAIM version is consistent with the version of your QQ protocol plugin (GAIM needs to check the version number when loading the plugin), will appear as the protocol information shown in Figure 2, indicating that the QQ protocol plugin is correct
Loaded.
figure 2
2. Setting Figure 3 is an interface to enter the QQ number and password, first select the protocol, where we choose QQ, will appear and some setting options related to QQ. QQ Server is the IP address of the QQ server
This address can be found in the Windows version of the QQ network settings option. QQ Server Port is the port number of the QQ server, which is generally 8000. Login Method is the default method, 0 means "stealth" login, 1 means "normal" login, 2 means "leaving". After adding a full account, you can enter the account login in the account login interface, you can use Ctrl
Key Select multiple accounts to log in and different protocols can also log in.
