96: </p>
97: <p>
98: Most users of LON-CAPA should install LON-CAPA by
99: <strong>simultaneously installing both RedHat 7.3 and LON-CAPA</strong>.
100: Step-by-step directions are available
101: <a href="http://install.lon-capa.org/resources/stepbystep_rh73.html">here</a>.
102: </p>
103: <p>
104: The "LON-CAPA and RedHat 7.3" tarball is located
105: <a
106: href="http://install.loncapa.org/resources/loncapa-rh73install.tar">here</a>.
107: </p>
108: <p>
109: <strong>LON-CAPA makes extensive use of perl modules</strong> from
110: <a href="http://www.cpan.org/">CPAN</a>. To help you install all
111: the necessary perl modules, there is a custom-compiled RPM for
112: RedHat 7.* systems:
1.15 ! harris41 113: <a href="http://install.lon-capa.org/resources/LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-rh7.i386.rpm">
! 114: LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-rh7.i386.rpm</a>.
! 115: </p>
! 116: <p>
! 117: <i>For RedHat 6.2 systems, you should instead use
! 118: <a href="http://install.lon-capa.org/resources/LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-1.i386.rpm">
! 119: LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-1.i386.rpm</a>.
1.12 harris41 120: </p>
121: <p>
122: To install the systemperl RPM, you should enter the following command:
123: </p>
124: <blockquote>
125: <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
126: <tr><td>
127: <pre>
1.15 ! harris41 128: rpm -Uvh --force LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-rh7.i386.rpm
1.12 harris41 129: </pre>
130: </td></tr></table>
131: </blockquote>
132: <p>
133: The systemperl RPM will overwrite some of
134: the files present in the regular RedHat perl RPM.
135: This is okay; this will not likely cause problems.
