Minimal x2gosever install guide for RHEL 6

Add the X2Go repo to your yum configuration.

Activating Optional Channels for RHEL

Check that you have activated the “optional” channel:

$ sudo rhn-channel -l

If the optional channel for your base channel is not active, activate it. e.g.:

$ sudo rhn-channel --add -c rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6

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

$ 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

Option 2: Install EPEL

URL to most recent EPEL repo installation package available here

$ 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

Installing x2go server

You should now be able to install the x2goserver package:

$ sudo yum install x2goserver
Note that currently the server must be in runlevel 5 to accept connections.
