Dyalog Forums

From the Dyalog RIDE User Guide (RIDE Version 3.0) for Dyalog 15.0 I read:
==============
Linux
The installation process for the RIDE is the same irrespective of whether it is installed as a stand-alone product or on a machine that already has Dyalog installed.

To install the RIDE:
1. Download the RIDE's .deb or .rpm file (whichever is appropriate for your
Linux distribution) from my.dyalog.com. If your Linux distribution does not
support either .deb or .rpm files, then please contact support@dyalog.com.

2. From the command line, use standard installation commands to install the
package.
The RIDE is now installed and ready to use. The RIDE icon (shortcut) is
added to the desktop.
============

Now as a Windows user, I have very little LINUX knowledge.

Question 1: Does the RPi use .deb or .rpm?

Question 2: What is the standard installation command to install a package on the Pi?
(I usually use "sudo apt-get install package-name" but this does not match up with the download in step 1!)

Or does none of this apply to the Raspberry pi?
If not, how exactly do I install RIDE on my (Jessie) Raspberry Pi?

Thanks

A deb package originated with Debian which is what Ubuntu is based on. I've used rpm files on redhat.

So I think you'll want the .deb for a Jessie version of linux & use dpkg to install, the deb/dpkg files are basically the same format as apt-get files

The webpage http://packages.dyalog.com/ should have all the information you'll need. The RIDE that is installed is version 4.0 - documentation for this will not be available until Dyalog version 16.0 is released. However, the RIDE 3.0 documentation should be reasonably accurate for RIDE 4.0 (although I've not tested that assumption yet!).
