   36: <p>
   37: If you are using RedHat, the <strong>CHECKRPMS</strong> command will check the RPMs on your machine
   38: against an FTP repository. Otherwise, you may need to update software
   39: manually.

   46: <p>
   47: The <strong>TEST</strong> command will check the installation software,
   48: the perl libraries on your system, the MySQL database, and
   49: will also automatically test the real-time operation of the 
   50: LON-CAPA Apache web server.

   56: Using the <strong>TEST</strong> command will likely
   57: be an iterative process.
   58: It is normal to expect that the <strong>TEST</strong> command
   59: will recommend you perform various steps to ensure optimal
   60: performance of your LON-CAPA server.
