IFT 488 – Systems Administration of Unix v2020.01 Activity 3 Installing Software from Source Code Learning Objectives and Outcomes: You will install software from source code files. Required Setup and Tools: CentOS 6.7 installation Recommended Procedures: The yum and rpm utilities install software that has already been compiled. Sometimes an rpm package is not available for a program; other times you may want to compile the software yourself so that you can modify the configuration or add a patch. Download the source code tar file for a package from gnu.org, such as the hello- 2.10.tar.gz package http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/ Compile and install the package. 1. Verify that the Development Tools group is installed. If it is not installed, run the following command as root: yum groupinstall “Development Tools” 2. Extract the files from the tar file and read any README or INSTALL files.

IFT 488 – Systems Administration of Unix v2020.01 7. How would you remove the program (hint: you cannot use yum or rpm; the application was installed from source code, so no information is placed into the rpm database)? Make uninstall command would be used. 8. How would you query the system to determine if the program is installed (yum and rpm queries will not work)? which command, but also if using the check in /opt or in /usr/local/bin in order to determine if the program was or is installed. Deliverables: Confirm that the hello-2.10.tar.gz utility is installed on your system. Submit this document with the questions answered (steps 7 & 8) and screenshots of steps 2-5.
