Package-based Installation
This is the preferred installation method. You should use this method unless you have special requirements that dictate otherwise.
A note about version code names
The Escenic Content Engine and all related applications (plug-ins, the CUE editor and so on) are released on a synchronized schedule where all product versions in a given release are known to work well together. Only these approved version combinations are supported. Each set of compatible product versions is identified by a code name, and during installation you can use this code name instead of the individual product's version number, thereby simplifying the installation process.
In the case of the
Content Engine
and other Linux applications installed using apt
, the
code name is actually the name of a repository containing compatible
versions of all products. This means that in order to ensure version
compatibility, all you need to do is add the name of the required
repository to your
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/escenic.list
file. Once you
have done this you do not need to specify any version numbers when
installing individual packages - apt
will just
install the latest maintenance release from that repository.
Note that code names cannot be used in this way on CentOS/Red Hat installations, where the application packages to be installed must still be identified by their version numbers.
The code name for
Content Engine
6.4 is
reed
.
