What is the difference between Helix vs Perforce?

Question

I am working on a project that used the Perforce repository. So I used the P4 and P4V tools to commit and submit. Now I decided to make my machine cleaner, so I reinstalled Ubuntu and set the new settings.

Installing P4 and P4V made me a bit confusing. I can install the following things to get the p4 tool:

$ sudo apt-get install perforce-cli 

and

 $ sudo apt-get install helix-cli 

So the question is, what is the difference between spiral * products and permanence. Are these just new / old names? perforce - *** there are more things you can install

Answer 1

Helix is ​​the new name we have given to some Perforce products.

IE, Helix Server = P4D = Perforce Server

Helix CLI = P4 = Perforce command line client.

To install the latest version of Helix Server (Perforce Server) and the Helix command-line client (P4) using packages, run:

sudo aptitude install helix-p4d helix-cli

Hope this helps, Jen.
