I am trying to install Firefox 59.0.2 on my linux server(OEL). But everytime I try to install firefox with command (yum install firefox) it installs 52.x version.
Could you please help me with the command to install firefox 59.0.2 in Oracle Enterprise Linux - 7.1
If possible, use yum to install Firefox on Oracle Linux. Using yum you can specify the Firefox version to install. Depending on your OL version, you may or may not be able to install Firefox 59.0.2.
To find which versions are available through the yum repositories on your machine, run:
sudo yum --showduplicates list firefox
You can choose a specific version that is shown in the list. So, on my OL7 VMs I currently have Firefox 60.3.0, and can install it like this:
sudo yum install firefox-60.3.0
Note that you may need to uninstall the existing version of Firefox before installing a new one:
sudo yum remove firefox
Since you're mentioning Enterprise, that's probably the reason why it downloads the 52.x version: it's the latest ESR (Extended Support Release). To install the latest version, you can:
Download the Linux archive from the official page.
Untar it with tar -xjvf firefox-59.02.tar.bz2 (current release).
Run the firefox executable from the unpacked directory.

I'm try Downgrade Subversion 1.8 working copy to 1.7 but not usefull. Please help
You can install svn version 1.7 via MacPorts.
Follow the instructions here.
Basically you'll have these steps:
Use the App Store to install Xcode.
Note — you may need to update Xcode after installing it.
Open a terminal and sudo xcode-select --install to install the the developer command line tools.
Install MacPorts for your version of OSX.
Note — you may need to source ~/.bash_profile after installation for the port command to be found.
Reinstall ports following the migration instructions.
The default install of Macports install links into /opt/local/bin and /opt/local/sbin, so add that to your path (then source ~/.bash_profile again).
Use 'which svn' and/or 'svn --version' in bash to determine which copy of subversion you are using.
I have installed the latest Jul2015 release, and I would like to use the
latest tools tachograph to determine the progress of query execution.
According to https://www.monetdb.org/Documentation/Manuals/MonetDB/Profiler/tachograph,
Tachograph is available as of Jul2015 release
But I do not know how to install it. My system is ubuntu 14.04.
I have tried to use sudo apt-get install monetdb-tools but failed to
locate the package monetdb-tools.
Any suggestion would be helpful. Thanks.
Tachograph is in monetdb-client-tools. Also, see https://dev.monetdb.org/downloads/deb/ for instructions on how to add the MonetDB repository to your system.
My Ubuntu software center crashes whenever i tried to open it. I came to understand it is after the python installation.
Now i want to update my Firefox browser.
How the Firefox browser is upgraded using the command line in Ubuntu?
You need to run 2 commands to upgrade specific package:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade firefox
I have firefox 3.0.12 on my redhat 5.8 and I'm trying to update it.
But, yum update firefox does not find and new version and keeps finding only 3.0.12
I have also tried updating yum itself.
I have also tried downloading firefox tgz, but I get a lot of dependency files missing. So going that route is very tedious and I'm finding it hard to download the dependent .so files.
How do I update using yum or is there a .rpm for firefox that I can download and install(I did not find one on the mozilla website)
If yum upgrade firefox does not report any possible updates, you probably do not have proper channels enabled (you are not subscribed into these). You should see rhel-x86_64-server-5 (depends on your architecture and RHEL variant - Server/Client...) in output of command yum repolist. If it is not there you have to register into RHN Classic (rhn.redhat.com) or your company's Red Hat Satellite or something else - depends on your company's policy.
If you have that channel available, upgrade to firefox-31.2.0-3.el5_11.x86_64 (which seems to be latest in RHEL5 channel) should be offered.
Firefox 3.0.12 is the latest version available in repository of 5.8 and so you are getting same. If you need the latest version then upgrade the OS itself or download the rpm manually and install with yum localinstall command.
I have downloaded latest SmartGit installation and each time I want to use it I need to run script smartgit.sh from SmartGit bin directory, this process requires the same repository setup every time.
What it correct way of installing SmartGit on Ubuntu? Thus I can have normal icon and run the program from state of previous usage, without configuring repositories every time.
Thanks.
You can add a PPA that provides a relatively current version of SmartGit(as well as SmartGitHg, the predecessor of SmartGit).
To add the PPA run:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eugenesan/ppa
sudo apt-get update
To install smartgit (after adding the PPA) run:
sudo apt-get install smartgit
To install smartgithg (after adding the PPA) run:
sudo apt-get install smartgithg
This should add a menu option for you
For more information, see Eugene San PPA.
This repository contains collection of customized, updated, ported and backported packages for two last LTS releases and latest pre-LTS release
What it correct way of installing SmartGit on Ubuntu? Thus I can have
normal icon
In smartgit/bin folder, there's a shell script waiting for you: add-menuitem.sh. It does just that.
Now on the Smartgit webpage (I don't know since when) there is the possibility to download directly the .deb package. Once installed, it will upgrade automagically itself when a new version is released.
Seems a bit too late, but there is a PPA repository with SmartGit, enjoy! =)
