How to deploy leemsi on linux? #178

Closed def-fun closed 1 year ago

def-fun commented 1 year ago

Hi, my ubuntu nas stored lots of msi installer. Now I have to verify their integrity (not damaged) before backup. I have no md5sum/sha1sum of them. So I think lessmsi might be a good choice.

Can you provide some suggestion?

Hello,

if your nas runs ubuntu then maybe you can try installing msitools package directly provided by the os.

Try: sudo apt-get install msitools or sudo apt install msitools

Hope this helps.

All the best, George

msitools might be better. I'm not sure though. lessmsi does not provide this capability.

Hi Scott,

lessmsi also works, but there is need to install mono and build tools first, then clone lessmsi, compile and run 👍

msitools will be straight forward for users don't know how to do the steps above.

In my case, I don't know how to help creating a package (deb, rpm, etc) with respective dependencies to provide it, but it will be great if someone else could do it.

Anyway, lessmsi is a great code! 👍

All the best, George
