| NORMAL PEOPLE INSTALL LON-CAPA WITH THE INSTALLATION |
The standard process is to install LON-CAPA with an installation |
| CD ON A FRESH SYSTEM. |
CD on a fresh system. We provide this document as a secondary |
| |
service to those who wish to install and experiment on an existing |
| |
Linux system. |
| |
|
| |
These are the current steps for installing LON-CAPA on an existing |
| |
RedHat 6.2 system. Where possible, I have tried to indicate steps |
| |
for RedHat 7.1. Please note that step 1 is optional. You can |
| |
run LON-CAPA on a shadow-based system. However, you need to follow |
| |
steps at http://install.lon-capa.org/docs/loncapapasswordauthentication.html. |
| |
|
| |
Also, an important bug that we keep forgetting with redhat 7.1 |
| |
and LON-CAPA. See below: |

| |
This is what has to happen in the installation. |
| |
* Install LON-CAPA files |
| |
* Configure system |
| |
* Make sure you have the right software packages (RPMS) |
| |
|
| |
Note that |
| |
http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/latestRPMS |
| |
are generally meant for RedHat 6.2 systems. |
| |
|
| IF YOU ARE A FREAKZOID, READ BELOW. |
For RedHat 7.1/7.2, you will have to manually |
| |
inspect CVS:doc/otherfiles/rpm_list.txt |

| 6. Add a user www. |
If you are using RedHat 7.1, the only file you really need from this |
| |
RPM is tth.so. |
| |
|
| |
http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/binaries/tth.so |
| |
should go in |
| |
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.???/tth.so |

The following instructions only work for RedHat 6.2. |
| |
If you are using RedHat 7.1/7.2, you will need to |
| |
manually inspect CVS:doc/otherfiles/rpm_list.txt. |

11. The next step will be to experiment with your system. |
| |
If you are setting up a machine for test purposes, I recommend |
| |
you set up a domain coordinator. See CVS:doc/how_to_domain_coordinator.txt |
