Install AIDE in Slackware in 14.2

I want to install aide in slackware but the package manager cannot download aide package. I tried the code below with no luck :

slackpkg install aide

The output shows :

Looking for aide in package list. Please wait . . . Done

No packages match the pattern or install. Try

/usr/sbin/slackpkg reinstall|upgrade

How will I fixt it?

Solution

  • Stock Slackware packages tree doesn't contain aide binary package. slackbuilds.org has slackbuild script for it here: https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/aide/ So read the README and README.Slackware files and build and install package as usual (manual or using sbopkg from sbopkg.org).

    With sbopkg:

    # sbopkg -r -i aide

    Manual:

    # mkdir /tmp/bld; cd /tmp/bld
# wget https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.2/system/aide.tar.gz
# tar xf aide.tar.gz
# cd aide
##read README and README.Slackware

# wget $DOWNLOAD
