How to install new programs on Dragora?
 

how would i install a new program on Dragora?

is there a apt-get install equivalent?

Thanks in advance.

You need to learn how to use a search engine. I found the answer here in just a few minutes.

-->http://wiki.dragora.org/guides/d2/pkgmanager

Dragora's package system in version 2.2 is called pkgsystem. It works well but does not support functions similar to `aptitude search' and downloading packages like `apt-get install'.

A lot of software is in the ISO images but there is a community repository here. When you find a package you want for you architecture, perhaps http://gungre.ch/dragora/repo/mprodr...1.0-i486-2.tlz, you download it. If you want you can also get the `.sha1sum' and/or `.sig' files to check the integrity of the package. When it is downloaded you can install it or upgrade it by running or with root privileges.

pkgsystem has more commands and options that you can find here.

I'm working on a program that has some additional features:

• Repositories
• Ability to fetch packages from remote repositories
• Search for available packages
• Look for updates
• Optional graphical interface (video)
• And more

The program is called Jul and you can download it here. It is a work in progress but it is usable now (except the graphical interface).

If you want more help or have any other questions you can ask here, send an e-mail to the mailing list, or join our IRC channel. Good luck!

Thanks I am able to install new programs now.
I will try jul when I get the chance

Jul
 

sorry that its been more than 6 months since I replied I kind of forgot to try jul
but I have tried it today.

after I run jul sync i can find packages and download them but the ones i have tried (nano and dillo)
when installed give error messages when run i am using the latest version of jul on the page you gave me and dragora 2.2

What error messages? Did you install packages for another architecture? Right now packages for both i486 and x86_64 are shown.
