This is the current list of steps to support LON-CAPA installation. These steps have
been tested.
- Get LON-CAPA on a CD by
- Requesting a LON-CAPA installation CD (c/o Dr. Kortemeyer,
korte@lon-capa.org).
- Or, downloading a LON-CAPA installation CD image and burning a CD.
- (Depending on whether your computer has a bootable CD-ROM, you may
need to also make a boot floppy. Download this floppy disk image file:
boot-20000407.img. (Download the image file; insert a blank floppy disk; and type this command: dd if=boot-20000407.img of=/dev/fd0).
- Install with CD-ROM
- After installation, restart the computer. Login as root. Enter this command (you only need to do this after your first reboot):
- sh /usr/sbin/loncapa_configure
You can also try to install LON-CAPA on an existing installation of
RedHat 6.2. Please see how_to_install_loncapa_on_a_preinstalled_system.txt.
