Install AIDE in Slackware in 14.2


I want to install aide in slackware but the package manager cannot download aide package. I tried the code below with no luck :

slackpkg install aide

The output shows :

Looking for aide in package list. Please wait . . . Done

No packages match the pattern or install. Try

/usr/sbin/slackpkg reinstall|upgrade

How will I fixt it?


Solution

  • Stock Slackware packages tree doesn't contain aide binary package. slackbuilds.org has slackbuild script for it here: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/aide/ So read the README and README.Slackware files and build and install package as usual (manual or using sbopkg from sbopkg.org).

    With sbopkg:

    # sbopkg -r -i aide

    Manual:

    # mkdir /tmp/bld; cd /tmp/bld
    # wget https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.2/system/aide.tar.gz
    # tar xf aide.tar.gz
    # cd aide
    ##read README and README.Slackware
    # . *info
    # wget $DOWNLOAD
    # bash *Build
    # upgradepkg --install-new /tmp/aide-$VERSION-*t?z
