Attention : support for WAPT 2.2 ended on March the 3rd 2023.

Please upgrade to the latest supported version

Using WAPT with the Command Line¶

The WAPT Agent provides a command line interface utility wapt-get.

Note

By default, command-line actions in WAPT are executed with the rights of the user who launched the cmd.exe.
If the cmd.exe has not been launched with Local Administrator privileges, the command will be passed on to the waptservice.
For security reasons, some actions will require a login and a password.
Only Local Administrators and members of the waptselfservice Active Directory security group are allowed.
To force using the WAPT service as a Local Administrator, simply add -S after wapt-get.exe.

Note

Each commands that take a package name as a parameter can also take the unique package_uuid of the package as a parameter (wapt-get install, wapt-get forget, etc.). Using a GUID allows to specify a unique package without ambiguity on its architecture or version. The package_uuid is listed in the output of wapt-get list and wapt-get search. For example:

Using the more common functions in WAPT with the command line¶

wapt-get install¶

The wapt-get install command launches the installation of a WAPT package.

To install Mozilla Firefox, the command is wapt-get install tis-firefox.

Note

If the package has not been downloaded to cache, wapt-get install will first download the package to cache, then it will install it.

Attention

Installing a WAPT package with install does not add the package as a dependency to the host.

The package is installed on the host, but if the computer is re-imaged, the package will not be reinstalled automatically.

The command wapt-get install tis-firefox returns:

wapt-get update¶

The wapt-get update command allow to update the list of available packages.

The local WAPT Agent will download Packages file from the private repository and compare it to its local database.

If new updates are available, the WAPT Agent switches the packages status to TO-UPGRADE.
If new software have been added on the repository, they become downloadable by the WAPT Agent.

Note

The wapt-get update command does not download packages, it only updates the local database of packages.

The command wapt-get update returns:

Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini
Update package list from https://srvwapt.mydomain.lan/wapt, https://srvwapt.mydomain.lan/wapt-host

wapt-get upgrade¶

The command wapt-get upgrade allows to launch the installation of packages waiting to be upgraded or waiting to be installed.

The local WAPT Agent downloads if necessary WAPT packages in its local cache then installs them.

Hint

It is strongly advised to launch a wapt-get update command before launching a wapt-get upgrade command.

Without previously launching a wapt-get update, the WAPT Agent will install nothing.

The command wapt-get upgrade returns:

Installing tis-mumble
Shutting down Mumble
installing Mumble 1.2.3

=== install packages ===
tis-mumble

wapt-get remove¶

The remove <package name> command removes a package.

The command takes the package name with the repository prefix as argument.

To remove Mozilla Firefox, the command is wapt-get remove <prefix>-firefox.

Attention

Removing a WAPT package with wapt-get remove does not remove the package dependency on the host.

The package will effectively be uninstalled from the host, but it will automatically be reinstalled on the next upgrade.

To completely remove a package from a host, do a wapt-get remove for the targeted package, then edit the host configuration via the WAPT Console to remove the package dependency on the host.

The command wapt-get remove tis-firefox returns:

Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini
Removing tis-firefox ...

wapt-get uninstall¶

The wapt-get uninstall <package name> command run the uninstall package function if exist.

The command takes on argument. That argument is the name package or a list of package names with the repository prefix.

Attention

Run the uninstall package function doesn’t remove the package on the host.

The command wapt-get uninstall tis-adwcleaner returns:

The command takes on argument. That argument is the name package or a list of package names with the repository prefix.

Attention

Forgetting the package doesn’t uninstall the package.

The command wapt-get forget tis-adwcleaner returns:

Using config file: C:\Program Files (x86)\wapt\wapt-get.ini

=== Packages removed from status ===
  tis-adwcleaner

wapt-get audit¶

The wapt-get audit [<package name>] command run the audit function.

The command takes on argument. That argument is the name package or a list of package names with the repository prefix.

If the argument is defined, the wapt-get audit [<package name>] command runs the package audit function.

Also, the wapt-get audit command runs the audit function for all packages installed on the host.

The command wapt-get uninstall tis-firefox returns:

Re-signing packages on the server using a command line¶

Hint

This commands are only avaible on Linux server

Danger

Before using this method, ensure that your WAPT Server is safe and not under the control of an unauthorized third party entity.

Copy your .crt and .pem to /tmp/ on the WAPT Server using Winscp or an equivalent tool.
It is then possible to re-sign all the packages at once on the WAPT Server with the following commands.

wapt-signpackages -d /var/www/wapt-host -c /tmp/wapt_pub_key.crt -k /tmp/wapt_priv_key.pem -s
wapt-signpackages -d /var/www/wapt -c /tmp/wapt_pub_key.crt -k /tmp/wapt_priv_key.pem -s
wapt-scanpackages /var/www/wapt/

Warning

If the error Access violation appear it’s beacause the package is too big.

Edit the package and see this procedure.

Hint

Use this method if re-signing from the WAPT console method does not complete successfully.

Attention

Remove your .crt and .pem from /tmp/ on the WAPT Server.
