[SOLVED] Is there any way to install Lynx for shell use?

[ksignorini]

I need to install a text based browser on my unRAID system in order to quickly visit some static web pages on my network when I'm away (and not requiring a separate port forward to those web servers on my router).

 

I tried to install it the old fashioned Slackware way:

 

1. Used wget to get the installer package.  (Got the file.)

2. Used installpkg to install the package.  (Install appeared to complete.)

3. Run the lynx command.

 

When I tried to run the program I got an exec format error.  Even though the package I downloaded was for Slackware 14.2 (which is what's under my unRAID 6.2.4, or so it says when I ssh into my server) it won't run.

 

Is there any way to install slackpacks on unRAID?  Or at the least, install Lynx?

 

Thanks.

You need a 64bit package.  The 32 bit will not work.  Assuming that's more or less what the exec error meant.

Nevermind.  I was installing the wrong architecture's package.  Arg.

 

Works great now that I installed the right one.

You're going to want to store the package within /boot/extra so that it'll get installed automatically with every boot.

Are you sure you know how to safely put your server on the internet?

LOL.  Yes, I do.

Just put the Slackware package in there?

Yes.  It'll get installed automatically
