Installation Instructions
If you wish to use yum to easily install the AccessGrid RPMs and
automatically retrieve any RPM dependencies, create a file called /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-accessgrid3.repo with the following content:
| [accessgrid3] name=AccessGrid Fedora $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/accessgrid3/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 |
If you need to use a http proxy with yum,
set the http_proxy environment variable to the URL of
your proxy. e.g. "http://your_proxy:port". See the yum man
page for more details.
On the command line as root, issue the following:
yum install AccessGrid
If you wish to use the SharedPresentation
shared application, then you will also need to also install the openoffice.org-pyuno RPM (not available for x86-64 FC3
& FC4) :
yum install openoffice.org-pyuno
If you wish to use the SharedBrowser shared application, then you will also
need to also install wxMozilla (not available Fedora 9 and later):
yum install wxMozilla-python
If you wish to install a version of AccessGrid 2.4 that can be co-installed with 3.1, issue the following (not available for Fedora 9 and later):
yum install compat-AccessGrid-2.4
If you are using Fedora 8 or later and you are having problems with PulseAudio and RAT, please see:
After installation, logout and login to allow the new GNOME/KDE Access Grid menu to take effect.
