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.
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:
