Install redis-cli only on CentOS - amazon-web-services

How can I install redis-cli only on CentOS, I know how to do it on ubuntu "sudo apt-get install redis-tools" but looking for similar package for CentOS.

If you are using amzn linux 2:
sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y
sudo yum update
sudo yum install redis

I am familiar with this approach:
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
make
cp src/redis-cli /usr/local/bin/
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/redis-cli
as you can see above, here you have to compile the source code using make. You hence need to make sure that you have c compiler on your OS. If you do not, then this can help you:
sudo yum install gcc
Also be aware, that this approach will also create another executables in src/ folder. I recommend you to check this out here.
hope it helped, have a nice day!

amazon-linux-extras specific version

I am trying to install a specific version using amazon-linux-extras but I have no idea how to do it. The usual way of doing it with yum seems to not work. Is there any way to do it?
sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y tomcat8.5
The command above installs the latest.
According to the docs, the format is topic=version if you want to install a specific version so try something like:
$ sudo amazon-linux-extras install tomcat8.5=8.5.31

RHEL: This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules

I am trying to install virtualbox5.2 on a RHEL 7 VM When I try to rebuild kernels modules I get the following error:
[root#myserver~]# /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.
Please install the Linux kernel "header" files matching the current kernel
for adding new hardware support to the system.
The distribution packages containing the headers are probably:
kernel-devel kernel-devel-3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64
I tried install kernet-devel and got success message
Installed:
kernel-devel.x86_64 0:3.10.0-693.21.1.el7
Complete!
But still the setup fails.
Any idea what is missing here?
sudo yum install -y "kernel-devel-$(uname -r)"
Substitute dnf on Fedora. I didn't need to do a reboot, but ymmv.
Edit for 2020:
Centos/RHEL 8 now also use dnf instead of yum. I haven't had occasion to test this on those distros, so the same YMMV disclaimer still applies.
First run in terminal: uname -r then you will get name and information about current kernel (CURRENT_KERNEL).
Now you can install with command: yum install kernel-devel-CURRENT_KERNEL
Note: replace CURRENT_KERNEL with string you get from uname -r.
The same message happened when I tried to upgrade VirtualBox 5.2.12 Guest Additions on my Kali Linux (GNU/Linux Rolling version). I fixed it by following steps:
Do apt update/upgrade to keep your system up-to-date. Do not forget to reboot the system.
Run "apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)".
Run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run from terminal, error message gone and Guest Additions will be installed successfully.
Reboot system, Guest Additions works fine.
I got here looking for the same answer for CentOS 6, and the above answers worked with slight modification (so, for anyone else that lands here too)...
yum install -y kernel-devel kernel-devel-$(uname -r)
So, "yum" instead of "apt-get"
Also, some Linux use "linux-headers" instead of "kernel-devel" but the principle seems to be the same.
The kernel your were using was kernel-devel-3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64 is slightly different with the one that you installed kernel-devel.x86_64 0:3.10.0-693.21.1.el7 . In my case, there are several different version installed on my OS, and "sudo yum install kernel-devel" always install the newest one for me. Then I work it out by setting my default kernel version as same as yum installed for me. You can check the kernel you have installed on your OS by following command:
sudo awk -F\' '$1=="menuentry " {print i++ " : " $2}' /etc/grub2.cfg
Then just set the kernel version you choose to use as same as yum choose for you,by following command:(notice that the number at last is pick up from preceding command result),
sudo grub2-set-default 0
generate the grub2 config with 'gurb2-mkconfig' command, and then reboot the server.
sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
sudo reboot
Milan Rakos is right. Your installed kernel-devel must have suffix string exactly the same as the uname -r output. Besides, the logs during the vboxdrv.sh setup also shows the wanted version of the kernel-devel.
So to your case, You will run the command:sudo yum install kernel-devel-3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64
to solve this problem I ran yum update -y. I think this is the fastest way to solve it. Another solution is to configure the repos with the installation DVD, so you can install the kernel-headers of your current version of CentOS.
My History:
yum install epel-release
yum install perl gcc dkms kernel-devel kernel-headers make bzip2
yum groupinstall "Development tools"
yum update -y
reboot
After that, I mount de VBoxGuestAdditions and I ran the process
yum install kernel-devel-3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64 fixed the issue.
A little late to the party but I just ran into this problem myself and here's what I did to resolve the issue.
yum update -y
yum install -y redhat-lsb-core net-tools kernel-headers kernel-devel epel-release
yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools"
reboot
Ensure your system has been fully updated when you ran yum update -y before continuing!
Cheers

Can I specify the rabbitmq-server version when installing on a linux box?

When doing:
sudo apt-get install -y -qq --force-yes rabbitmq-server-3.6.6
the return is:
>E: Unable to locate package rabbitmq-server-3.6.6
>E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'rabbitmq-server-3.6.6'
Is there a way to specify the package I want to be installed?
you can find the versions on github/Package Cloud/bitnary
ex:
wget https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/download/rabbitmq_v3_6_6/rabbitmq-server_3.6.6-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i rabbitmq-server_3.6.6-1_all.deb

Debian Stretch and Jessie 32-bit libraries

For those looking for the answer, there it's, as it's not clear on other websites.
This is required at least by the Intel compiler. Maybe it helps also for other software.
Just run those commands in your terminal.
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc-multilib rpm libstdc++6:i386 libgcc1:i386 zlib1g:i386 libncurses5:i386
Or as root remove the "sudo" from them.

Uninstall boost and install another version

I've installed the boost libraries on Linux Mint 12 using the command sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-doc, which installs the default version available in the repositories. However, the project I have to do needs the 1.44 version of boost. How do I uninstall the default (current) version 1.46 and install 1.44?
I couldn't find the documentation on the boost website to install boost from the .tar.gz package.
Boost can installed by two ways
Deb package
wget and install manually
In some case we might have installed by both type which can cause version error. Lets see how to uninstall both.
sudo apt-get update
# to uninstall deb version
sudo apt-get -y --purge remove libboost-all-dev libboost-doc libboost-dev
# to uninstall the version which we installed from source
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/libboost_*
Then we need to install other dependencies if they are not met
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential g++ python-dev autotools-dev libicu-dev libbz2-dev
Lets download the boost version which we need from the link. I am downloading the 1.54 version. Then untar and install it.
# go to home folder
cd
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.54.0/boost_1_54_0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf boost_1_54_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_54_0
# get the no of cpucores to make faster
cpuCores=`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu cores" | uniq | awk '{print $NF}'`
echo "Available CPU cores: "$cpuCores
./bootstrap.sh # this will generate ./b2
sudo ./b2 --with=all -j $cpuCores install
Now let's check the installed version
cat /usr/local/include/boost/version.hpp | grep "BOOST_LIB_VERSION"
You will see something like below
// BOOST_LIB_VERSION must be defined to be the same as BOOST_VERSION
#define BOOST_LIB_VERSION "1_54"
Version 1.54 of boost is installed
That's it, it worked for me. Let me know if you face any issues.
You can uninstall with
apt-get --purge remove libboost-dev libboost-doc
Download the package you need from boost website, extract and follow "getting started" instructions found inside index.html in the extracted directory.
Tested working Ubuntu 20.04 Use my script to uninstall your older version of boost in ubuntu 20.04 and follow rams instructions above
#!/bin/bash
sudo apt-get -y --purge remove libboost-all-dev libboost-doc libboost-dev
echo "clear boost dir"
sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/libboost*
sudo rm -r /usr/local/include/boost
sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/cmake/*
sudo rm -f /usr/lib/libboost_*
sudo rm -r /usr/include/boost
Downgrade your boost version. I'm not familiar with Mint, but assuming it is deb-based, you can do:
apt-cache show libboost-dev
to see all installable version and install a specific version with
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev=1.42.0.1
There are also convenience packages for the major boost versions:
sudo apt-get install libboost1.44-dev
As #savamane wrote you can uninstall it with
apt-get --purge remove libboost-dev libboost-doc
Another suggestion to install the .deb packages as suggested here. (Download the one fitted for your architecture though).
For still supported distros, you can simply search for the package at the distributions at http://packages.ubuntu.com/. For example libboost-system1.46.1 can be found in under the precise -> Libraries tab.
For unsupported distros, there is still a chance to find them at
http://archive.ubuntu.com/. For example can libboost-all-dev_1.40.0.1_amd64.deb be found in
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boost-defaults/.
This is how you install a specific Boost version:
cd boost_1_54_0/
./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=atomic,date_time,exception,filesystem,iostreams,locale,program_options,regex,signals,system,test,thread,timer,log
sudo ./b2 install
