Notes on installing .deb packets #336

Closed benjaminaigner closed 4 years ago

benjaminaigner commented 4 years ago

If the asterics-are.deb is installed via: dpkg -i asterics-are-4.1.0-alpha3.deb you get following error (if the necessary packages are not installed):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of asterics-are:
 asterics-are depends on libhidapi-libusb0; however:
  Package libhidapi-libusb0 is not installed.

It is possible to install the libraries afterwards with: sudo apt --fix-broken install

I think it will be good to have the information on the installation page.

In addition, I would replace all the information on the release page by a link to https://www.asterics.eu/get-started/Installation.html

Thanks, good idea. Will be in next publishing.

ChrisVeigl commented 4 years ago

could we add libhidapi-libusb0 in the installer to prevent the dependency problems?

deinhofer commented 4 years ago

You cannot directly add the binary package, but the package name, which is the case, see https://github.com/asterics/AsTeRICS/blob/master/Installer/asterics-are/package/linux/control.

I have updated the installation docs, will look like this: https://www.asterics.eu/next/get-started/Installation.html#linux

If you want to change it, click onto the Edit this page link on the bottom of the page.

ChrisVeigl commented 4 years ago

could we do something like sudo apt install libhidapi-libusb0 && dpkg -i asterics-are-<version>.deb ?

benjaminaigner commented 4 years ago

@ChrisVeigl This would be the better way, no error messages there :-). Small correction (sudo for dpkg, wildcard for easy copy&paste): sudo apt install libhidapi-libusb0 && sudo dpkg -i asterics-are-*.deb
