Newbie needs help installing portato

[jmak]

Hello,

I am new to sabayon and I've just downloaded portato but not able to find installation instructions. Could anyone help me out.
Thanks.

you don't need to install it from source. you can installing using portage (the package manager for gentoo+sabayon).
you can type the following command in the terminal

emerge -Dv portato

also, there is already a graphical interface for portage installed in sabayon and it is called Kuroo.

Good luck

Thanks for the suggestion, but when I entered the command you mentioned I got
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "portato".
What now?

There is no "portato" to emerge.
Tell us where we can download this program to help you, because i cant find any program with google named portato.

usally source packages are installed like this in the terminal as root:

Code: Select all

cd /path/to/folder_program
./configure
make
make install

I downloaded from here,

[Manos-Sx]

oh yes, you want the package manager for gentoo.
just as root press

Code: Select all

emerge portage

And if you want later press

Code: Select all

emerge --search portage

to choose which extra packages fit on you

its not on the main repo and also reams to be removed from the sunrise overlay however they have there own overlay.

run:

Code: Select all

layman -o http://portato.sf.net/layman.xml -S && layman -o http://portato.sf.net/layman.xml -a portato

Oo ... as of http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/sunrise ... ge/portato it seems to be there ...

@jmak: If you are using the portato-overlay - please use the version "0.7.5" -- not the "9999" . But best would it be if you do a

Code: Select all

layman -d portato && layman -s sunrise && emerge -av portato

. This should install the version from the sunrise overlay.
Reason: One overlay less (;)) - and version "9999" sometimes is broken as it is the developer version.
