Dateimanager + rpm/apk-Dateien Installieren

Beitrag für SFOS 2.0+ angepasst.

 

Um *.rpm oder *.apk Dateien (Apps/Spiele) Installieren zu können, braucht ihr ein Dateimanager App. Mittlerweile hat Jolla in SFOS 2.x einen hauseigenen Dateimanager:

„Einstellung > Speicher > Nutzerdaten > und im Pulldown Menü > Dateimanager“

Solltet ihr noch eine alte SFOS Version besitzen (z.B. weil ein Port nutzt), so könnt ihr im Jolla -Store eine App namens „File Browser“ herunterladen. Habt ihr allerdings kein zugriff auf den Jolla-Store, so könnt ihr eine App auf openrepos.net downloaden (bsp. Cargo Dock)

Wenn ihr eine *.rpm/*.apk Dateien über den Webbrowser heruntergeladen habt, werden diese Datei standardmäßig in dem Ordner „Downloads“ abgelagert.

 

Und so geht ihr vor:

Hier ein Bsp. wie man mit der App „File Browser“ aus dem Jolla-Store eine rpm/apk-Datei installiert. Unter SFOS 2.x mit seinem hauseigenen oder aber auch Cargo Dock ist der Ablauf recht ähnlich.

Bevor ihr diese Fremde Pakete Installieren könnt, müsst SFOS die Erlaubnis erteilen

„Einstellung > Fremd-Software > Nicht vertrauenswürdige Software erlauben > Punkt setzen > Annehmen“

 

1) Öffnet die „File Browser“ App. Dort findet ihr eure Ordner wie z. B. Downloads aufgelistet.

rpm-apk-install-a

2) Wechselt in den Downloads Ordner. Wählt nun das Paket aus, was ihr Installieren wollt.

rpm-apk-install-b

3) Daraufhin sieht ihr einige Informationen über diese Datei wie z. B. Name, Größe, Pfad ect.

rpm-apk-install-c

4) Zieht nun den Bereich runter und wählt „Install“. Die Installation fängt sofort an!

rpm-apk-install-d

5) Ist die Installation fertig, bekommt Ihr oben die Meldung „Install Finish“- „Installation beendet“

rpm-apk-install-e

Nun könnt ihr das Programm schließen oder zurück wischen um weitere Programme zu installieren.
