X2Go Packages for Redhat Enterprise Linux and derivatives

X2Go packages are provided by the Fedora EPEL project for RHEL and derivative distributions (e.g. CentOS and ScientificLinux). See using EPEL for instructions on how to configure the EPEL repository.

If you wish to install newer or test versions directly from the X2Go project, follow the instructions below in addition to configuring the EPEL repository.

Adding the X2Go Repository to your Package System

Add the file x2go.repo to the folder /etc/yum.repos.d/. This can be done using by your preferred editor.

$ editor /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo

Then add the X2Go repository to your YUM setup:

x2go.repo
[x2go-releases]
name=Upstream X2Go Packages (release builds)
baseurl=http://packages.x2go.org/epel/6/main/$basearch
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
protect=0

#[x2go-nightly]
#name=Upstream X2Go Packages (nightly builds)
#baseurl=http://packages.x2go.org/epel/6/heuler/$basearch
#gpgcheck=0
#enabled=1
#protect=0

[x2go-extras]
name=Upstream X2Go Packages (extra packages)
baseurl=http://packages.x2go.org/epel/6/extras/$basearch
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
protect=0

Now you can search for X2Go related package that are now available for your system via YUM:

$ yum search x2go

Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2Go packages. You may continue by installing x2goserver, x2goclient or pyhoca-gui or any other of the available packages.
