(Optional) Installing Basic Components

Scenario

This section is only necessary for Debian. For other OSs, skip this section. The basic components include vim, dkms, linux--headers-xxx-common, and linux-headers-xxx-amd64.

Procedure

1. Install vim.
   1. Configure the apt source.

      Run the vi /etc/apt/sources.list command to add the apt sources. The content to be added varies depending on the Debian OS version. The following uses Debian 8.6 as an example.

      deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/debian jessie main contrib non-free
      deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/debian jessie main contrib non-free
      deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/debian jessie-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
      deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/debian jessie-proposed-updates main contrib non-free
      deb http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free
      deb-src http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/debian jessie-updates main contrib non-free

      Enter :wq! to save the file. Then, run the apt update command.

   2. Run the apt-get install vim command to install vim.
2. Run the apt-get install dkms command to install dkms.
3. Run the apt-get install linux--headers-xxx-common command to install linux--headers-xxx-common.

   xxx indicates the kernel version number. For example, if the kernel version of Debain 8.6 is 3.16.0-4, run the apt-get install linux--headers-3.16.0-4-common command.

4. Run the apt-get install linux-headers-xxx-amd64 command to install linux-headers-xxx-amd64.

   xxx indicates the kernel version number. For example, if the kernel version of Debain 8.6 is 3.16.0-4, run the apt-get install linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64 command.

5. Delete configuration items from the /etc/network/interfaces file.

   Run the vi /etc/network/interfaces command. If the configuration of eth0 exists, delete the last two lines.

   ...
   # The loopback network interface
   auto lo
   iface lo inet loopback
   
   # The primary network interface
   # The following configuration items need to be deleted:
   allow-hotplug eth0
   iface eth0 inet dhcp

   Enter :wq! to save the file.
