Thread: installing pico on ur server

PICO is a powerful program
and its a very useful to admin the server

first check for the pine packge ( its the pacge that pico is )

this by
from SSH write

PHP Code:

 rpm -q pine 


u should see this message which mean that the pine packge is not install on ur server
packge pine is not installed

know write the following instruction:

PHP Code:

 wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/pine-4.44-18.i386.rpm 


then write;

PHP Code:

 rpm -Uvh pine -4.44-18.i386.rpm 


know u can use the pico for editting any file on server

Handy, thanks

This would depend on what distro you are using.

Most distro's nowadays use yum so an easier way to do it is to just type:

yum install pine

From the SSH prompt, and it will be installed.

Not for nothing I've never seen a server rollout that didn't include pico..For that matter I've never seen a desktop distro not include pico in the default install. So, Check to see if you have it before trying to install it.

What does Pico exactly do ?
