| | ===== Install ===== |
| | |
| | ==== Debian/Ubuntu Linux ==== |
| | |
| | The following shell command-line/script file((made executable with chmod +x)) can be used to install the required and recommended packages on **Debian**-based Linux distros (e.g. **Ubuntu**): |
| | |
| | <file sh install-sbbs-deps.sh> |
| | sudo apt install build-essential perl zip git gdb libarchive-dev libncursesw5-dev libnspr4-dev libmosquitto-dev libsystemd-dev libcap-dev xorg-dev libsdl2-dev libgtk-3-dev libglade2-dev python3 python-is-python3 lrzsz gkermit |
| | </file> |
| | ==== CentOS 7 ==== |
| | |
| | To be able to use Mosquitto for MQTT, you will need to add the EPEL repo. Execute the following command as root: |
| | |
| | yum -y install epel-release |
| | |
| | Now install the development tools: |
| | |
| | yum group install "Development Tools" |
| | |
| | and finally the rest of the prerequisite packages |
| |
| | yum install libarchive-devel nspr-devel ncurses-devel libcap-devel systemd-devel xorg-x11-server-devel SDL-devel lrzsz gkermit mosquitto-devel |
| | |
| | (this is a work in progress) |
