====== X2Go Server installation ======

Please see [[wiki:advanced:x2goserver-in-detail|X2go's Server Core]] for detailed documentation.


===== Ubuntu =====

==== Quick ====
You might have to install ''add-apt-repository'' first using:
<code bash>
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
</code>

<code bash>
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:x2go/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install x2goserver
</code>

==== Detailed ====

First add the [[wiki:repositories:ubuntu|X2Go ppa repository for Ubuntu]].

After adding the X2Go PPA to your remote Ubuntu "desktop" server the next step is to install the packages ''x2goserver'' and ''x2goserver-xsession'':

<code bash>
sudo apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession
</code>

===== Debian =====

Add our [[wiki:repositories:debian|X2Go Debian Repository]].

<code bash>
sudo apt-get install x2goserver x2goserver-xsession
</code>

===== RHEL 6 =====

[[wiki:repositories:redhat|Add the X2Go repo]] to your yum configuration.


==== Activating Optional Channels for RHEL ====

Check that you have activated the "optional" channel:
<code bash>
sudo rhn-channel -l
</code>

If the optional channel for your base channel is not active, activate it.
<code bash>
sudo rhn-channel --add -c rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6
</code>

==== Installing sshfs (fuse) ====
Currently, even in the optional channel, there is no official package for sshfs and it is not (yet?) included in the X2Go repo. Thus it has to be downloaded form an alternate source:

=== Option 1: Download the package manually ===

<code bash>
sudo yum install fuse fuse-libs
wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/fuse-sshfs/fuse-sshfs-2.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -i --nosignature fuse-sshfs-2.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
</code>

=== Option 2: Install EPEL ===
URL to most recent EPEL repo installation package available [[http://mirror01.th.ifl.net/epel/6/i386/repoview/epel-release.html|here]]
<code bash>
wget http://mirror01.th.ifl.net/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -i epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
sudo yum install fuse-sshfs
</code>

==== Installing X2Go Server ====
You should now be able to install the ''x2goserver'' package:

<code bash>
sudo yum install x2goserver
</code>
