Offline Debian 9 Installation

[memecade]

Hi,

I downloaded the ISO here and perform offline installation
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/cu ... 64/iso-cd/

Found that sudo command not available.

Any idea how I can enable it ?

Thanks.

Code: Select all

apt install sudo

Thanks... got it working. Sorry, I am new to this.

To enable sudo in the initial installation do not enter a root password when prompted by the installer, sudo will then be installed and the first user will be added to the sudo group automatically.

I need to install the following component on the server

Code: Select all

sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-php mariadb-client mariadb-server php php-bcmath php-cli php-common php-curl php-gd php-imagick php-json php-ldap php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-memcached php-mysql php-pgsql php-soap php-xml php-zip memcached unzip sudo moreutils

When I run it, I encounter further issue where I am not able to locate those packages

E: Unable to locate package apache2
E: Unable to locate package libapache2-mod-php
.... so forth

Is it possible for me to redirect the install to look at the CD ISO ?

You need to look at /etc/apt/sources.list. Apache2 is in the repositories, but the repositories may not be in that file, and if not Apt won't look there. Do you have synaptic installed? It's a GUI frontend for Apt, still has a learning curve but it's a bit easier to manage.

Yes , see :https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList

CD-ROM

If you'd rather use your CD-ROM for installing packages or updating your system automatically with APT, you can put it in your /etc/apt/sources.list. To do so, you can use the apt-cdrom program like this:

Also : https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/apt ... .8.en.html

DESCRIPTION
apt-cdrom is used to add a new CD-ROM to APT's list of available sources. apt-cdrom takes care of determining the structure of the disc as well as correcting for several possible mis-burns and verifying the index files.

It is necessary to use apt-cdrom to add CDs to the APT system; it cannot be done by hand. Furthermore each disc in a multi-CD set must be inserted and scanned separately to account for possible mis-burns.

Unless the -h, or --help option is given, one of the commands below must be present.

Thanks for guidance. I managed to use apt cd-rom add to include my 3 DVD ISO and got all the components I wanted to be installed.
Hopefully, I did not miss anything as there are a whole bunch of text messages appearing.
