Hey guys I kinda not so good with Maemo terminal shell command. Would you guys kindly tutoring me on how to installing software from the commandline.
in YDL i use: yum localinstall abc, cde, ...etc
something like this to install. But not sure which one to install though. I got so many drNokSNES from one of the member repos.
I took the screenshot below. Can you pointing out which one to install first
Here is a way to manually install .deb files via the terminal.
A word of warning you will have root access and if you don't know what you are doing you can really screw up your device.
Also, be careful using or installing applications that have not been throughly tested as they could potential brick or otherwise harm the N900.
1) Download armel.deb files to a temporary directory
2) Open a terminal window
3) type "sudo gainroot" then press enter
4) use "cd" to change to the directory you downloaded to (the memory card is "cd /media/mmc1/")
5) dpkg -i drnoksnes_1.2.4_armel.deb (replace with the whatever filename you downloaded).
6) once the install is complete type "exit" then press enter
for now its 1am. Gotta sleep
