Installation

A note about version code names

The CUE Content Store and all related applications (plug-ins, the CUE editor and so on) are released on a synchronized schedule where all product versions in a given release are known to work well together. Only these approved version combinations are supported. Each set of compatible product versions is identified by a code name, and during installation you can use this code name instead of the individual product's version number, thereby simplifying the installation process.

In the case of the Content Store and other Linux applications installed using apt, the code name is actually the name of a repository containing compatible versions of all products. This means that in order to ensure version compatibility, all you need to do is add the name of the required repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/escenic.list file. Once you have done this you do not need to specify any version numbers when installing individual packages - apt will just install the latest maintenance release from that repository.

Note that code names cannot be used in this way on CentOS/Red Hat installations, where the application packages to be installed must still be identified by their version numbers.

The code name for Content Store 7.0 is aluminium.
