HOWTO - Install Senzing Packages via Apt

These instructions are only intended as a cheatsheet for developers. There are alternate ways to do many of these actions that may or may not be documented here.

Installing the repo package

Senzing version 3.9.X and below

wget https://senzing-staging-apt.s3.amazonaws.com/senzingstagingrepo_1.0.1-1_all.deb
sudo apt install ./senzingstagingrepo_1.0.1-1_all.deb
sudo apt update

Senzing version 3.10.X and above

wget https://senzing-staging-apt.s3.amazonaws.com/senzingstagingrepo_2.0.0-1_all.deb
sudo apt install ./senzingstagingrepo_2.0.0-1_all.deb
sudo apt update

Validating the repo package install

  1. Check the sources 
    grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

Listing Senzing packages

List all available Senzing packages

sudo apt list | grep senzing

List all available versions of a specific package

sudo apt list -a <SENZING_PACKAGE>

Example:

sudo apt list -a senzingapi-runtime

List installed senzing packages

sudo apt list --installed | grep senzing

Installing Senzing packages

Installing the latest version of a package

sudo apt install <SENZING_PACKAGE>

Example:

sudo apt install senzingapi-runtime

Installing a specific Senzing package version

Installing a specific MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version

sudo apt install <SENZING_PACKAGE>=<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>*

NOTE: This will install the latest version of a particular MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version. Apt will use the latest build version Example: If there are two senzingapi-runtime versions available:

senzingapi-runtime/unknown 3.9.0-24071 amd64
senzingapi-runtime/unknown 3.9.0-24068 amd64

The following command would install the higher version: 3.9.0-24071

sudo apt install senzingapi-runtime=3.9.0*

Installing a specific MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-BUILD_NUMBER version

sudo apt install <SENZING_PACKAGE>=<MAJOR>.<MINOR>.<PATCH>-<BUILD_NUMBER>

Example:

sudo apt install senzingapi-runtime=3.9.0-24068

Restricting Install versions via Apt preferences

  1. Create a preferences file for the respective package.

    touch /etc/apt/preferences.d/<SENZING_PACKAGE>

    Example:

    touch /etc/apt/preferences.d/senzingapi-runtime

  2. Update the file to indicate which versions should be pinned.

    Example: restrict the highest major version:

    Package: <SENZING_PACKAGE>
Pin: version <MAJOR_VERSION>.*
Pin-Priority: 999

    Example: restrict the highest major and minor version:

    Package: <SENZING_PACKAGE>
Pin: version <MAJOR_VERSION>.<MINOR_VERSION>.*
Pin-Priority: 999

    Example: restrict senzingapi-runtime to major version 3. This will prevent apt from installing any major version greater than 3.

    Package: senzingapi-runtime
Pin: version 3.*
Pin-Priority: 999

See Ubuntu documentation or Stack Exchange for more details.
