choose repository when apt-get install - raspberry-pi

I have a raspberry pi and, in the standard repositories, it has zynaddsubfx (a midi sampler). There is a cool guy providing a repository from his own with a version of this same program that is tested on the pi and known to work.
How can I force apt-get to install from this particular repository when he program to be installed has the same name in both repositories ?

You can specify the repo indirectly by giving the exact version you want to install. See this post for a howto: https://superuser.com/questions/124174/how-can-i-specify-the-repository-from-which-a-package-will-be-installed-emacs

Offline Ros Bridge Intallation / without internet

We want to install Ros Bridge to our server. But we don't have internet access on server. Is it possible we can install without internet?
Thank you...
You can download the package and all it's dependencies on a different device (with similar architecture) like
sudo apt-get install ros-<rosdistro>-rosbridge-server --download-only
This will place the packages at /var/cache/apt/archives. The files then can be used for installation without the need of downloading them again. So after moving them to your server, this can be done with
apt-get install ros-<rosdistro>-rosbridge-server

How to install Qpid Proton on Raspberry pi

I want to use Qpid Proton on the raspberry pi 4 but I have trouble installing it.
Well, it seems I could install it and I can use the examples from the Apache website.
https://qpid.apache.org/releases/qpid-proton-0.33.0/proton/python/docs/tutorial.html
However, the container's on_sendable callback does not seem to be executed.
After doing some research, it seems I need to add a topic exchange with the qpid-config, which is part of qpid-tools.
However, those are not available to install, both with pip or apt ...
Do you know how I can install Qpid-Tools on the raspberry pi?
Do I need to add a repository? And if so, where do I find it?
It's doubtful that there exists a build of qpid-tools fir the ARM based distributions so the short answer is probably that you can't get those tools there. The longer answer would be that you would need to likely build the qpid C++ binaries yourself on your Raspberry Pi using the included INSTALL instructions to try and reverse engineer the needed requirements and platform configuration that would allow it to build on ARM.
If you figure out the requirements you could feed that back to the Qpid community although I don't think there is much ongoing momentum for the Qpid C++ broker.
You can download the source bundle from the Qpid project site here.

How to install Hipchat Server on CentOS 6?

In my deep dive into the CentOS terminal, I was able to install and setup Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket servers. However, the Hipchat Server seems to be based on something completely different.
Is there a step by step guide to installing Hipchat; From what's needed (dependencies) to installing (which I'm not even sure is part of the process) to seeing it work (log-in, etc.)?
Atlassian's official guide is written in such a way, that I look at it confused - as if it's a riddle that will never be solved. lol
By HipChat4, I'm assuming you refer to the HipChat Client. If so, have you tried the instructions outlined here?
sudo bash -c ‘cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/hipchat.repo << EOF_hipchat
[atlassian-hipchat]
name=Atlassian Hipchat
baseurl=https://atlassian.artifactoryonline.com/atlassian/hipchat-yum-client/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
EOF_hipchat’
sudo yum update
sudo yum install hipchat4
If what you're trying to install is the server, then keep in mind that HipChat Server is only supported on AWS (via the Atlassian provided AMI), or as a VM for private datacenters (via the Atlassian provided OVA). You can't install HipChat Server directly on a Linux box.
If your OS can run a virtualization platform (e.g. VirtualBox) then you can download the OVA from https://www.hipchat.com/server#get-hipchat-server, import it, start your VM and configure it. More thorough instructions are available here.

how install rvm on RHL7 using centos repo

How to install rvm(ruby) on RHL7 using centos repo.
I know if we are using centos repository we should be using centos OS and not RedHat, but we have a proprietary software that require Redhat.
when I try to install ruby 1.93 using rvm I got this:
rvm install 1.9.3
Searching for binary rubies, this might take some time.
No binary rubies available for: redhat/6/x86_64/ruby-1.9.3-p551.
Continuing with compilation. Please read 'rvm help mount' to get more information on binary rubies.
Checking requirements for redhat.
Unable to locate SystemId file. Is this system registered?
Our client does not have registered system with redhat, So I did configure centos repository.
But how can I tell RVM to use this centos repository?
I managed the problem running:
rvm autolibs read-only
In that way rvm do not try to download the dependencies from redhat. But it tell us what is missing, so we can install what is missing manually with yum install from centos repository.
RedHat uses the concept of software collection to offer update packages for Ruby, Python, etc:
softwarecollections
For your case, they have software collection for Ruby193 and Ruby22.
On each page you will find instructions on how to use it.

Yocto (Intel IoT Image), installing packages

Good day.
In debian I can to run:
sudo apt-get install python-opencv python-serial python-pyparsing python-numpy python-wxgtk2.8
How to do it on yocto (Intel IoT Image)?
1) build from source it all with building from source all dependencies?
2) is a good solution - install apt-get on yocto?
3) Maybe, I can to use opkg for installing it, (but in "opkg list" I can't see, for example, python-wxgtk2.8 ), where can I find good repository, default repository is very poor?
Yes you can install packages using opkg. You can use the repos. Refer this excellent blog from Alex on package configuration.
