Download and Install necessary OSS RPMs on IBM AIX box


/ Published in: Bash
Save to your folder(s)

AIX does not have Package Manager like YUM for Open Source Software.
So I made a script to automatically install RPM packages on AIX box by downloading it from www.oss4aix.org site via ftp .
It is very first version, it does not have all the necessary checks, but I do not have too much time to polish it.
Actually it works. It downloads and installs all the necessary software and it dependencies ( thanks to Michael Perzl http://www.perzl.org/aix/index.php?n=FAQs.FAQs#rpm-dependency-hell ).

I saw similar thing here: http://earth2baz.net/rpmplus/
But it downloads entire Repository. I do not need that. So made my own script.

Actually it is for Korn Shell wich is deffault on AIX.
