PSI: Puppy Software Installer 07

[tombh]

Thanks for that Mark, puppylinux.org's software search now searches Puppy 4 packages

I've been chatting to Caneri and prit1 about getting that PHP script running over at puppylinux.ca. This would be great as Caneri has a very large repository there.

@MU and @tombh:
Great job!!. I can see the pet4 packages on the puppylinux.org search results now.

As the setup on Puppylinux.ca is different, the whole (or most of the) script must be rewritten to create a package list for the site.

I will get to it sometime.

[prit1]

I created a new php script to create the package list files on Puppylinux.ca.

One of the directories on .ca "tpp" is huge and the package list file that was created is around 4MB.

Have added the search script on puppylinux.ca.

Here is the page:

But it will not be extremely efficient as it parses the text file.

I hate to sound so stupid, but this is all new to me. I gat the file, now what do I do with it? I am not too familiar with the command line, so where do I go to actually get this very nice looking package installer? I know most Linux users paobably know what to do with it, but I don' t.
Thanks

go to the first post in this thread for download locations

[Ron G]

I have it downloaded, just don't know how to install it.

I have it downloaded, just don't know how to install it.

What version of Puppy? If it's Puppy 3.01 or earlier you just need to click on each of the 3 packages you downloaded. If it's Puppy 4.x the PSI program won't work without also downloading and clicking on the dotpuphandler program - Google search for it is easier than forum search.

Hope that helps

I`ve tried to install it many times but it wont come up on the screen even though its on the menu as an item.When clicked all I get is a yellow bar with wait for borderless moments.
Running frugal on sda1 with puppy 411.

You need at least 3 dependencies installed as well - Gtklist04MU.pup, getdir.pup and dotpuphandler.pet ... see the original post in this thread for the first two. The other is in PETget, I think.

Hope that helps

the same thing happens to me... the "borderless moment" then nothing, even if i have downloaded all the needed files...

WIki Entry for PetGet
http://www.puppylinux.org/wiki/archives ... ity/petget

I was using PuppyLinux 4.1.1 installed to a hard drive. I updated the script /usr/sbin/petget to correct a changed url for gatech.edu and added 5 more Mirror websites for Austria, Australia, South Africa, Portugal, Thailand.

GUI Button Sequence.
MENU ---> SYSTEM --> Puppy Package Manager

You may private mail me with your questions.
I don't know about the 3 other software packages listed above.

My Puppy Package Manager just worked to download and install software with a click on the selected Pet PackagePackage. Send me more details how it is working for your or IS NOT working for you in a PM.
In the future I will try to collect some screen shots to show and tell.

To test petget, one a RXVT terminal console window. At the "#" prompt type petget and watch the GTK shell script app come up. If it hangs you might get some message in the RXVT terminal console window.
