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