Alas, it appears when some companies claim to support “Linux”, they actually support only the Debian-based versions of Linux. Hipchat, Atlassian claims, “runs on everything so you can use it anywhere.” But to make it run on RPM-based systems, you might need to do a little work. Here’s how I got HipChat running on Suse:
1. Download the .deb file. Ignore Attlasian’s download instructions and grab the latest version from Atlassian’s server.
2. Download Alien. I grabbed this dandy tarball, which did the trick quite nicely. Extract wherever:
tar -xvf alien_8.95.tar.xz
3. Make sure rpmbuild is installed. On Suse:
sudo zypper install rpm-build
4. Now, navigate into the extracted Alien directory and run the Alien perl script:
./alien.pl --to-rpm ~/Downloads/HipChat4-4.0.1637-Linux.deb
5. Now, you should be able to install the resulting RPM.
sudo zypper install hipchat4-4.0.1637-2.x86_64.rpm
You’re done. Hipchat should be installed in your /opt directory, though you should be able to find it in your launch menu as well. The same steps as above should (famous last word) work on any other RPM-based distribution; just substitute the calls to zypper with whatever your distro’s installation/dependency management tool is.
Thanks, today I was looking url to deb packages. Now, thanks you, I got it!
Thank you !!
Installed HipChat4-4.29.4.1662-Linux.rpm from https://atlassian.artifactoryonline.com/atlassian/hipchat-yum-client/ with zypper on openSUSE Tumbleweed, – seems to work for me.
