+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-3.5-rh7.i386.rpm. +

+

+For RedHat 6.2 systems, you should instead use + +LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-1.i386.rpm. +

+

+To install the systemperl RPM, you should enter the following command: +

+
+ +
+
+rpm -Uvh --force LON-CAPA-systemperl-3.5-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. +
