Hi

My package installer does not seem to recognize .qpr file. I have a .qpr
file which I placed in a local directory and gave package installer it’s
path as the local repository. But package installer does not show any
packages present in this repository !!

How can I install a .qpr file

Thanks in advance

You need to setup the repository for the package installer to load it.

How can I install a .qpr file

In a terminal :
pkg-installer -u path/file.qpr

In a terminal :
pkg-installer -u path/file.qpr

Also, you could click “Add” button in installer and give package installer it’s path and filename.
For instance,
Add repository:/fs/hd0-dos/mylocalfolder/mypackage.qpr
QPR is QNX Package Repository, so qpr file include all repository information inside itself. When
you point just path to directory, it suppose to be .qpm (manifest) and .qpk (package) files in the
directory.
