Extra softwares in Sailfish using CLI, repositories, etc

This topic is to share experiences of installing softwares in Sailfish using Terminal (CLI - Command Line Interface) tools (pkcon, zypper, etc), extra repositories, etc.

Tested on Sailfish port @ Nokia N9.

Set the Developer Mode in Sailfish Settings : choose a password, leave "Allow developer updates" not selected, save. So now you have Terminal and remote connection (via "ssh nemo@<ip-number>").

The pkcon command has many options, see here some documentation.

1) (Don't work on recent Sailfish versions) Jolla file manager, use Terminal to install using pkcon :
$ pkcon install jolla-fileman
This file manager seems to be in alpha/beta state until now (15/12/2013).
There are other file browsers in Jolla Store (File Browser, Cargo Dock) and Warehouse (Filetug).

2) nano text editor to be used inside Teminal :
$ pkcon install nano

3) zypper tool, to complement pkcon :
$ pkcon install zypper
But zypper can't be used at same time with Jolla Store. See some zypper documentation, and zypper cheat sheet (page 1 and 2).

4) programming languages are available and simple to install :
gcc 4.6.4 (with gcc-c++, gcc-objc, gcc-objc++), perl 5.16.1 (already installed), ruby 1.9.3, tcl 8.5.8, tcl/tk 8.5.12 (with mer-tools repository), vala (0.16), etc. For example :

4.a) Python 2.7.5 :
$ pkcon install python

4.b) C/C++ (gcc/g++ 4.6.4) :
$ pkcon install gcc gcc-c++
Yeah, you can compile C/C++ code and run .o objects at CLI. No Harmattan aegis limitations anymore :cool:

5) additional softwares in mer-tools repository, e.g. :
dosfstools, emacs, git, htop, less, mtools, parted, powertop, rsync, ruby 1.9.3, strace, sudo, tcl/tk 8.5.12, zsh.
First enable the repository by entering root (with Developer Mode password) :
$ devel-su
# ssu ar mer-tools
# ssu ur
$ pkcon refresh
Now you can install, for example :
$ pkcon install htop less powertop
htop creates an icon which doesn't work, but inside Terminal it is ok.

6) OpenRepos.net via Warehouse client has many CLI softwares. NielDK published more than one hundred : apache, bash 4.3, cpufrequtils, imagemagick, lynx, mc (Midnight Commander), php, qemu, screen, wget, etc.

Is Midnight Commander available anywhere?

No, even with mer-tools enabled.

In OpenRepos.net there is Midnight Commander for MeeGo Harmattan only.

I guess it's good to propose to add it to mer-tools.

wget would be nice too, in the meantime binary attached (might need 'pkcon install gnutls' for ssl, not sure)

edit: wow, building on-device is a bliss, MC compiles/installs nicely, just make sure to configure with '--with-screen=ncurses' as there is no slang currently, subshell (ctrl-o) works, opens .tar.gz, yay! (now we really need hwkb, synergy compiled without problem but as it depends on X crashes right after start, any other options to make use of N900's hwkb?)

if you're not picky, 'curl -O' is an acceptable replacement readily available

wget suffered from GPLv3 fate :) But adding it to some community repo is a good idea.

The Harmattan one works fine - just extract it along with libslang and voila :)

Is GHC (haskell compiler) an option? If not, I might build one myself ;).

Re: Extra softwares in Sailfish using CLI, repositories, etc

I'd like to add imagemagick to the requests. I tried to compile it but it's non-trivial: too many dependencies.

The binary does compile okay, but it misses decoders/encoders

Re: Extra softwares in Sailfish using CLI, repositories, etc

Managed to build Mosh on my phone and thought I'd share this with you guys.

What "Mosh"?

http://mosh.mit.edu/

Quote:

Remote terminal application that allows roaming, supports intermittent connectivity, and provides intelligent local echo and line editing of user keystrokes.

Mosh is a replacement for SSH. It's more robust and responsive, especially over Wi-Fi, cellular, and long-distance links.

Mosh is free software, available for GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, and Android

Please ask if these instructions don't work. I did many steps forwards and backwards while trying to build some libs manually and installing some using pkcon, so ask if they don't work as intended:

1) First, the dependencies. Open terminal and type:

Code:

pkcon install zlib-devel protobuf-compiler protobuf-devel ncurses-devel openssl-devel

2) Open browser / use wget / whatnot to download:

Code:

http://mosh.mit.edu/mosh-1.2.4.tar.gz

3) In the terminal again:

Code:

devel-su

# insert your developer mode password

cd /home/nemo/Downloads # or other folder where the file is

tar xvfz mosh-1.2.4.tar.gz

cd mosh-1.2.4

./configure

make

make install

Please note that you'll also need make, gcc, and gcc-c++ packages installed.

EDIT: Important note! As you'll install this by compiling Mosh manually from sources, you'll be yourself responsible for possible security updates in the future. So keep checking the website every now and then to keep your Mosh secure.

Thanks! Could you explain for newbies how to use it from a Windows PC to the Jolla? I used to use KiTTY (a PuTTY fork) to connect to the Jolla through WiFI or USB, but really like the roaming feature of mosh. Is there any way to use it from a Windows computer, and if so, how?

Re: Extra softwares in Sailfish using CLI, repositories, etc

Hi,
I just added mer-tools repo as described in the first post

Code:

ssu ar mer-tools

ssu ur

But it seems that the repo does not exist.

Code:

$ ssu lr

[...]

Enabled repositories (user): 

 - mer-tools ... https://releases.jolla.com/releases/1.0.2.5/mer-tools/builds/armv7hl/packages/

[...]

Opening this url in browser gives "403 Forbidden"

Does anyone know what's the status of this repo?

Re: Extra softwares in Sailfish using CLI, repositories, etc

Sorry, my bad. I missed the "pkcon refresh" line. Everything works fine :)

So wget can't be found in Sailfish repos just because it's gplv3?

The one in Nemo works:
http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:...ps.armv7hl.rpm

Probably would be easy adapting the openSUSE armv7hl packages for Jolla:

Could you please explain in detail which version did you pick and how you possibly got around the glib-2.0 error...
If I ./configure it always quits with

Code:

configure: error: glib-2.0 not found or version too old (must be >= 2.12)

although I have glib2-2.32.4-1.2.1.armv7hl and glibc-2.15-1.1.1.armv7hl installed.

I'm using lates src of mc-4.8.11.

You seems to be the man to ask for cli apps so I would like to make a request for wget. If you would add that to openrepos that would be awesome. Curl -O works but still wget is less to write. :)

Already available

Checking my bash history...

Code:

./configure --with-screen=ncurses

After this make worked on 4.8.11, no bug fixes/patches needed (you might need to install ncurses-devel and gettext-devel), then again maybe are needed for the overlays from fingerterm, refreshing is kinda screwed (works perfectly when sshed from n900 though, so I blame fingerterm).

I don't have it but I know that it exists in a Nemo repository but that is not an official repo for Sailfish. Would be much better to have a supported version on openrepos than from some repo that might not work with Sailfish.

'pkcon install pcre' might also be needed, is configure finishing for you? Usually it should inform you that it is not finding a lib
