updata packages list for installation

This is not up to date: ​http://rasdaman.org/wiki/RequiredPackages

I've checked and it looks up to date, is there some package that you noticed missing?

[Peter Baumann]

what is missing is a simple, clear way to get all dependencies. Several of them are just listed by name, no link nor the version needed. This deviates from the old practice where each component (which is not delivered with Linux) is linked.

For example, trying myself I get:

configure: error: grpc not found. Plase install grpc or specify the path to the protobuf package in PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable if it was not installed on the default path.

Ideally, commands are indicated to obtain the package status required.

What's the configure command, does it include --enable-rasnet?

The required packages and installation guides should be separate pages for each version of rasdaman as they may differ from one version to another; this needs some wiki restructuring.

Replying to dmisev:

What's the configure command, does it include --enable-rasnet?

it is:
./configure —prefix=/usr/local/rasdaman-community/ —enable-rasnet

The required packages and installation guides should be separate pages for each version of rasdaman as they may differ from one version to another; this needs some wiki restructuring.

ok, so let's roll!

[Dimitar Misev]

rasnet is optional at the moment (only works with —enable-rasnet), you should follow the rasnet guide to install the dependencies.

[Peter Baumann]

fine, but (i) grpc is mentioned in the packages list, but not explained and (ii) grpc installation is unacceptably complex.

I did some rework, have a look now: ​http://rasdaman.org/wiki/RequiredPackages

[Peter Baumann]

better now indeed!
Can we have an "apt-get install …" command line for copy/paste at the bottom?
Actually, best several, what about:

• one for the mandatories
• one for PG
• one for petascope
• not sure: one for the —enable-XXX optionals

[Dimitar Misev]

I thought this is a page that list the dependencies in general terms, not tied to packages for a specific OS.

This page then gives some specific packages lists: wiki:InstallFromSource

Ok I think we can close this ticket.
