1.2 harris41 4: The standard process is to install LON-CAPA with an installation
5: CD on a fresh system. We provide this document as a secondary
6: service to those who wish to install and experiment on an existing
7: Linux system.
1.1 ng 8:
1.2 harris41 9: These are the current steps for installing LON-CAPA on an existing
1.3 harris41 10: RedHat 6.2 system. Where possible, I have tried to indicate steps
11: for RedHat 7.1. Please note that step 1 is optional. You can
1.2 harris41 12: run LON-CAPA on a shadow-based system. However, you need to follow
13: steps at http://install.lon-capa.org/docs/loncapapasswordauthentication.html.

1.3 harris41 15: SUMMARY
16:
17: This is what has to happen in the installation.
18: * Install LON-CAPA files

58:
59: If you are using RedHat 7.1, the only file you really need from this
60: RPM is tth.so.
61:
62: http://install.lon-capa.org/3.1/binaries/tth.so
1.4 ! harris41 63: should go in

75: As root, cd loncapa/loncom/build; make rpmstatuspost
1.1 ng 76: look at the status of your RPMS
77: http://MACHINENAME/lon-status/rpmstatus.html
78:
79: install/upgrade the ones you don't have
80: probably start with the out-of-date RPMs
81: and then run make rpmstatuspost again
82:
83: install RPMs from the minimal set
84: (you might want to be a little selective here.. like, you
85: don't "need" autofs)
86:
87: install RPMs from the development set
88: (you might want to be a LOT selective here)
89:
90: 8. update LON-CAPA-base files with CVS
91: cvs update -d
92: cd loncom/build
1.3 harris41 93: make build; make install

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