I'm sorry, I had misread this as asking whether you need to install it on the system (i.e. the host). Now, you *can* get around installing the application in the container by binding in the binaries and libraries from the host, but I would recommend installing the application in the container, yes. > >> 2.

How can I get that? I don't know what you've started with. Treat it the same way as installing the application on the container's distribution if it were on the host... yum for fedora, apt-get for debian/ubuntu, or git clone/configure/make if you did it from scratch, etc. -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
