I am working in a project which was using the Perforce repository. So I was using P4 and P4V tools, to make commits and submissions. Now I decided to make my machine cleaner, so I reinstalled the Ubuntu, and making new settings.
Installing the P4 and P4V, made me a little confused. I can install next things, to get the p4 tool:
$ sudo apt-get install perforce-cli
and
$ sudo apt-get install helix-cli
So the question is what is the difference betwen helix-* products and perforce-*. Is it just new\old names? perforce-*** has more things that can be installed
Helix is the new name that we have given to some Perforce Products.
i.e., Helix Server = P4D = Perforce Server
Helix CLI = P4 = Perforce Command Line client.
To install the latest version of the Helix Server (Perforce Server) and Helix command line client (P4) using packages, run:
sudo aptitude install helix-p4d helix-cli
