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. These include:

  • fedfs-utils-admin
  • fedfs-utils-client
  • fedfs-utils-lib
  • fedfs-utils-nsdbparams
  • fedfs-utils-server

On any host in your FedFS domain, you can install just the fedfs-utils components you need. For example:

# yum install fedfs-utils-client

There are also packages for development and debugging:

  • fedfs-utils-devel
  • fedfs-utils-debuginfo

Build from scratch

Follow these steps if your distribution does not provide a packaged version of fedfs-utils.

  1. Download the fedfs-utils-0.8 release tarball from [1].
  2. Unpack the fedfs-utils-0.8 tarball somewhere convenient.
  3. Run ./configure in the fedfs-utils top-level directory.
    1. If you are on a 64-bit platform, be sure to specify "--libdir=/usr/lib64".
    2. The ./configure script may find missing libraries or headers such as libcap, libtirpc, libuuid, and graphviz. Install these components using your distributions installation tool to allow the ./configure script to complete successfully.
  4. Use "make" to build the package.
  5. As root run "make install"
