# sisinstall(1)

simple command line program for installing packaged programs or libraries on the Psion.

## NAME

sisinstall - simple command line program for installing packaged programs or libraries on the Psion.

## SYNOPSIS

**sisinstall** **\[-h\]** **\[-V\]** **\[-n\]** **\[-v** *level***\]** **\[***long-options***\]** **FILE**

## DESCRIPTION

sisinstall installs a packaged program or library from a sis file to a Psion machine. It requires the ncpd to be running already to provide access to the Psion machine over the serial port.

## OPTIONS

- **-V, --version**

  Display the version and exit

- **-h, --help**

  Display a short help text and exit.

- **-n, --dryryn**

  Just parse the sis file, don't touch the Psion machine.

- **-v, --verbose=***level*

  Specify the log level.

  Level 0 is the default, and is pretty quiet.

  Level 1 provides detailed information on the data that is read.

  Level 2 is rather verbose, and is mostly meant for debugging.

## BUGS

Ignores dependency records in the sis file.
