Select one approach listed here, thus either the official (downstream) Fedora packages repository, or our X2Go Fedora repository and stick to it. Unreleased versions and unofficial (related to the Fedora project) release packages are only available directly from the X2Go project, follow the instructions in the second section to configure your package manager for this.
Please add the file x2go.repo
to the folder /etc/yum.repos.d/
.
This can be done by using your preferred editor.
$ editor /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo
Then add the X2Go repository to your YUM/DNF setup:
[x2go-releases] name=Upstream X2Go Packages (release builds) baseurl=http://packages.x2go.org/fedora/$releasever/main/$basearch gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 protect=0 #[x2go-nightly] #name=Upstream X2Go Packages (nightly builds) #baseurl=http://packages.x2go.org/fedora/$releasever/main/$basearch #gpgcheck=0 #enabled=1 #protect=0
Now you can search for X2Go related package that are now available for your system via DNF
$ dnf search x2go
Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2Go packages. You may continue by installing x2goserver-xsession, x2goclient or pyhoca-gui or any other of the available packages.
The packages in this repository can be mirrored via rsync
:
rsync -avP packages.x2go.org::fedora </dest/path/of/local/mirror/fedora>
To get started you'll need to configure your local system to access the X2Go Fedora Copr repository. Please keep in mind that this installation manual will guide you through the installation on a Fedora 23 or 24 system. The repository will basically offer you packages for the ppc64le architecture.
Use the copr utility to add the repo:
dnf copr enable mikedep333/x2go
Now you can search for X2Go related package that are now available for your system via DNF:
$ dnf search x2go
Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2Go packages. You may continue by installing x2goserver-xsession
, x2goclient
or pyhoca-gui
or any other of the available packages.
