++Most users of LON-CAPA should install LON-CAPA by +simultaneously installing both RedHat 7.3 and LON-CAPA. +Step-by-step directions are available +here. +
++The "LON-CAPA and RedHat 7.3" tarball is located +here. +
++LON-CAPA makes extensive use of perl modules from +CPAN. To help you install all +the necessary perl modules, there is a custom-compiled RPM for +RedHat 7.* systems: + +LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.4-rh7.i386.rpm. +
++To install the systemperl RPM, you should enter the following command: +
++++
++ +rpm -Uvh --force LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.4-rh7.i386.rpm ++
+The systemperl RPM will overwrite some of +the files present in the regular RedHat perl RPM. +This is okay; this will not likely cause problems. +
