install:nix:prerequisites [2022/04/01 19:28] – [Required] Pointed python lines to Python 2 for Debian and FreeBSD. Moved the libncurses note above the table so people don't miss it. Threw in a fixme because the libcursesw5-dev note doesn't make sense. Andreinstall:nix:prerequisites [2024/03/01 17:02] (current) – [Debian/Ubuntu Linux] We don't need python2 no more no more no more no more digital man

 +
 +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)
