• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Resolved Really simple - how do I install a utils package

Another_Omeka_User

Basic Pleskian
Hi all,

I'm still a relative newbie to Plesk, and I do not do much server work (I'm a part-time front-end developer most the time). However, I am in charge of maintaining what already exists, and in order for a plug-in to work within something else, I need to install poppler-utils (pdftotext) for use within an app on a specific domain. I am trying to follow the instructions of the plug-in that say the following:

"[the plug-in] requires a command-line program installed on your server: pdftotext. The plugin will refuse to install if pdftotext is not found on the server. If you control the server yourself and need to install pdftotext, it's provided by the poppler-utils package which should be available from your distribution's package manager."

I control the server. I have downloaded the tar files. Can I use the Plesk panel to upload these packages? The App vault manager says zip files only. I am not entirely comfortable working at command line, and I honestly don't know where to put these tar files even if I did go into the server at command line. Standard Plesk 12.5 / CentOS 7 setup.

If anyone could provide some advice or if I'm missing something blatantly obvious, I'd really appreciate it.
 
Over SSH:
# sudo yum -y install poppler-utils
[...]
Installed:
poppler-utils.x86_64 0:0.26.5-16.el7

Dependency Installed:
openjpeg-libs.x86_64 0:1.5.1-10.el7 poppler.x86_64 0:0.26.5-16.el7

Complete!
