04. System Setup

• 1. See if your system is 32 bit or 64 bit.

     1. On a PC, Right Click on My Computer and then click Properties. There search for System Type.

     2. If you have a Mac or any *nix box, open up a Term session and type ‘uname -m’

  2. Install the following:

     1. Subsequent (from #02.b to #02.n) instructions are for Mac and Windows. All *nix users can follow these steps as well but the recommended method would be

        1. Search for the package in your repository

           1. For example, yum search filezilla or apt-cache search filezilla

        2. and then install the bits.

           1. For example, yum install filezilla3.13.1-noarch.rpm

        3. however, if your package repository does not contain the desired package (or the desired version), it is very much possible that some other repo hosts it. Just google for it and you might find it. Most of the repos are hosted at ubuntu:ppa or launchpad:ppa for ubuntu or debian:stable, unstable, testing for debian. Fedora has a more stringent open source license that doesn’t allow it to host closed source projects (or even open source projects with closed source components) on its official site. The most famous ones for fedora are: remi, russian-fedora, rpmfusion, (and for old FC systems) livna. Don’t forget to enable all good, bad and ugly repos.

           1. For example,

              1. in Fedora,

download the repo

match the keys gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys Key_ID

add it in /etc/yum.repos.d/

enable the required bits by setting enable =1

yum|dnf update --enablerepo=updates-testing

In newer systems, follow this guide https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#To_rawhide

• • • • • 1. in ubuntu,

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-cache search oracle-java

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

• • 1. For Windows and Mac,

       1. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

       2. Shutdown your computer. Let it breathe for 15 seconds. Then start. (This is done to clear the RAM cache)

    2. For *nix, Openjdk is there in the default repos. I have seen it works quite well. But some people (including guys at Google) think that Sun JDK is better. Choice is yours.

       1. If you want a sun jdk, follow the steps in http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-sun-oracle-java-jdk-jre-7-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/

    3. https://www.python.org/downloads/

       1. Download both 3.4.3 and 2.7.10 (We need python-3 but a lot of outdated applications depend on python-2. So we need to have both.

       2. For MAC, there should be some default installation. Update only if the default installation is outdated.

    4. http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads

       1. download for 32 or 64 bit arch, depending on your system config

       2. Again for MAC, there should be a default installation. Update if required

    5. http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty-0.65-installer.exe

       1. For linux, you should go with the default openssh commands.

       2. For MAC, you can live with terminal if you want, but if the black screen scares you,

          1. Install Mac ports

https://www.macports.org/install.php or browse through App Store.

• • • • 1. Install XCode

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835

Launch XCode and accept its license

• • • • 1. Open a terminal and type

• 1. sudo port -v selfupdate

     1. 1. 1. Then type sudo port upgrade outdated

  2. sudo port install putty

     1. 1. 1. Putty has some windowing issues. Install X11 (the default unix window renderer)

http://xquartz.macosforge.org/landing/

Run Putty

• • 1. Set up ssh.

       1. In Windows, there is no default ssh provider. Needs to be done via putty. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-ssh-keys-with-putty-to-connect-to-a-vps

       2. In *nix, openssh would be pre-installed.

       3. In Mac, openssh should already be installed. try running ‘ssh -V’ and ‘sshd -V’ on Terminal.

       4. In Mac, If the above command gives an error, sometimes its installed but not enabled, try this:

          1. http://bluishcoder.co.nz/articles/mac-ssh.html

       5. If is not installed, then follow this:

          1. http://coolestguidesontheplanet.com/installing-homebrew-os-x-yosemite-10-10-package-manager-unix-apps/

If there are errors in xcode installation, run this in Terminal:

• • • • • • 1. sudo xcode-select --install

            2. even if that command gives and error, then run this in Terminal:

               1. sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app

• • • 1. now follow this:

         1. https://mochtu.de/2015/01/07/updating-openssh-on-mac-os-x-10-10-yosemite/

      2. finally, generate the keys by running the following in Terminal:

         1. ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "$(whoami)@$(hostname)-$(date -I)"

      3. then password protect your file:

         1. ssh-keygen -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -p
