Installing the necessary Modules

Previous  Top  Next

To ease administration I wrote a perl script that let's you create and modify users with a perl script. To make the user interface a little bit more appealable, you will need to install several modules for PERL. Simply go to http://www.cpan.org and search for all the modules listed below, download them, and copy them to the /usr/software directory. Those modules are needed (and included in the netikus package):

1. Term::ReadKey	TermReadKey-2.14.tar.gz
2. Passwd::Linux	Passwd-Linux-0.70.tar.gz
3. Convert::ASN1	Convert-ASN1-0.07.tar.gz
4. Net::LDAP	perl-ldap-0.22.tar.gz

      
The installation procedure is the same for all of those modules (and for most other ones). Please note that you will have to substitute the correct file- and directory names to make it work. Also make sure you install the modules in the order showed above. I showed one example with real filenames on the right side with the Term::ReadKey Module:

tar –xvzf filename.tar.gz	tar –xvzf TermReadKey-2.14.tar.gz
cd directory	cd TermReadKey-2.14
perl Makefile.PL	perl Makefile.PL
make	make
make test	make test
make install	make install

   
Do this for every modele and the modules should now all be installed correctly!
