downloading a package to my server

Hi,

I want to download and run imageMagik on my remote server. So i know some unix and can move around unix filesystem so i'm sure i can do it but how do i actually download the package to the remote machine.....i need to point it to the url somehow and say download it..then i know how to unpack and install it anyways

It's a dedicated machine so i should have the priviledges to do this right?

Thanks

Hi,

I get Fedora Core release 6 (Zod) from that command.

Is it lynx followed by the location of the package i need?

Also is there any way to tell if imagemagik (or any program) is already installed....i've tried whereis

Use yum!

You can always us yum from the command line in Fedora to install ImageMagik.

Example;

Code:
sudo yum -y update && sudo yum -y install imagemagik
should update your yum repo with the latest sources and then install ImageMagik.

If you get an error such as below you might already have it installed.
Code:
Cannot find a package matching imagemagick
No actions to take
A good Google search term for this would be;
install imagemagick fedora core 6
