[SOLVED] fiware could not be installed

Issue

I am trying to install contextBroker following doc: rel="nofollow">https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-orion/blob/develop/doc/manuals/admin/install.md#using-yum-(recommended)

the yum installation did not work, therefore I tried to download https://forge.fiware.org/frs/?group_id=7 to install

    rpm -i contextBroker-1.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm 

then it shows the error:error:

  contextBroker-tests-1.2.1-1.x86_64.rpm: not an rpm package (or package manifest): 

Could any please tell me what happened?

Thanks

Solution

I just downloaded it, and it looks like their webserver is misconfigured. They are inserting HTML at the beginning of the RPM and corrupting it. You will need to use a utility to strip the text from the beginning. dd is likely easiest once you figure out how much junk to remove.

Original answer (useful to keep because it tells about file and yum):

"not an rpm package" sounds like the download corrupted. Try running "file" on it and see what it tells you about it. I didn't see a hash on the download page, so you can't verify with that.

yum is a nicer interface to rpm so you can try "yum localinstall contextBroker-1.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm".
