Introduction

If you are running Fedora 18, you can install a packaged version of fedfs-utils-0.8. On other distributions, build fedfs-utils from scratch.

Pre-packaged install

fedfs-utils is split into several packages so you don't have to install all fedfs-utils components on every host. But for convenience, you can install everything with this command:

# yum install fedfs-utils

Build from scratch

1. Download the fedfs-utils-0.8 release tarball from [1].

2. Unpack the fedfs-utils-0.8 tarball somewhere convenient.

3. Run ./configure. If you are on a 64-bit platform, be sure to specify "--libdir=/usr/lib64".

The ./configure script may find missing package dependencies. Typical ones are: libcap-devel, libtirpc-devel, libuuid, and graphviz. Install these to allow the ./configure script to complete successfully.

4. Once ./configure completes successfully, use "make" to build the package.

5. If the build worked, as root run "make install"
