This is an old revision of the document!
Please select one method only and stick to it.
Download the .repo file and save it to the correct location:
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo \ http://packages.x2go.org/epel/x2go.repo
Edit the file afterwards to select the repositories you need.
As a rule of thumb: source
repositories are never needed, unless you want to build packages from source. extras
repositories are always needed.
By default, the release
repository are enabled and the nightly
repository is disabled. If you want to use the nightly
packages, disable the release
repository and enable the nightly
repository.
Note that not all of X2Go may be provided for RHEL 5/6, as these distributions are very old and therefore more work-intensive to develop for.
Hint: If you are behind a proxy, make sure the proxy is defined in /etc/yum.conf
. Standard yum repos do not use the same connection mechanisms as RHN channels.
Install EPEL as outlined on the EPEL wiki page.
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.
