Package Installation

Use the following commands to install the packages:

The installation requires “root” permissions.

RPM-Based systems

rpm -U {package-name}-<X.X.X-REV>.<DIST>.<arch>.rpm

DPKG-Based systems

dpkg -i {package-name}-<X.X.X-REV>~<DIST-VER>_<arch>.deb

Package-Update Installation

An update of a package can be performed in the same way as the installation. The RPM installer also verifies any package dependencies, which will prevent the installation of a newer package without installing/updating the packages this newer package depends on.

Existing config-files will be kept untouched by the update process. The package-management-system will either ask what to do with the changed config, or just place a copy of the new version in parallel to the existing one.

Verification of the Package Installation

The installed MTG system packages can be listed with the following command:

RPM:

rpm -qa | grep -i mtg

DEB:

dpkg -l | grep -i mtg

The installed KMS packages can be listed with the following command:

RPM:

rpm -qa | grep -i kms

DEB:

dpkg -l | grep -i kms

MTG System

After successful installation of the MTG system packages the following should be listed:

  • mtg-common-<X.X.X-REV>.<DIST>.<arch>.rpm or mtg-common-<X.X.X-REV>~<DIST-VER>_<arch>.deb

  • mtg-kms-common-<X.X.X-REV>.<DIST>.<arch>.rpm or mtg-kms-common-<X.X.X-REV>~<DIST-VER>_<arch>.deb

Component

After successful installation of any component the following packages should be listed:

  • {package-name}-<X.X.X-REV>.<DIST>.<arch>.rpm or {package-name}-<X.X.X-REV>~<DIST-VER>_<arch>.deb

Package Uninstall

Upon uninstall of an MTG-KMS package, there is no security prompt before the uninstallation proceeds!

RPM

An RPM package can be uninstalled by the following command:

rpm -e <PackageName>

The placeholder <PackageName> has to be replaced by the full name of the package to be uninstalled.

RPM also verifies any package dependencies, which will prevent uninstallation of a package without uninstalling the dependent packages.

DEB

An DEB-Package can be removed by the following command:

dpkg -r <PackageName>

The placeholder <PackageName> has to be replaced by the full name of the package to be uninstalled.

DPKG also verifies any package dependencies, which will prevent uninstallation of a package without uninstalling the dependent packages.
