   15: <h3>Upgrading LON-CAPA files</h3>
   16: <p>
   17: Download the most current
   18: <a href="http://install.lon-capa.org/versions/loncapa-current.tar.gz">
   19: loncapa-current.tar.gz</a>.

   37: <h3>Checking your Linux packages</h3> 
   38: <p>Checking RPMs (RedHat, CentOS, Scientific Linux, SLES, openSuSE, Fedora) or debs (Ubuntu LTS, Debian)</p>
   39: <p>
   40: The <strong>/usr/local/loncapa/bin/CHECKRPMS</strong> command will check that packages (rpms or debs, as appropriate for your distro) are up to date, by checking with the appropriate package repository.

   47: <h3>Testing to see if the LON-CAPA server is operational</h3>
   48: <p>
   49: The <strong>TEST</strong> command will check the installation software,
   50: the perl libraries on your system, the MySQL database, and
   51: will also automatically test the real-time operation of the 
   52: LON-CAPA Apache web server.
   53: </p>
   54: <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
   55: <tr><td><tt>./TEST</tt></td></tr>
   56: </table>
   57: <p>
   58: Using the <strong>TEST</strong> command will likely
   59: be an iterative process.
   60: It is normal to expect that the <strong>TEST</strong> command
   61: will recommend you perform various steps to ensure optimal
   62: performance of your LON-CAPA server.
