Installation guide

2. Log in as root, and install the JRE. For example:

rpm -Uvh java-1.5.0-ibm-1.5.0.5-1jpp.2.el4.i386.rpm

After installing the JRE, install the Directory Server packages, as described in Section 2,

“Installing the Directory Server Packages”.

2. Installing the Directory Server Packages

1. Install the Directory Server packages. There are two options for installing the packages:

using native Red Hat Enterprise Linux tools (yum or up2date) or downloading them from Red

Hat Network. The recommended way is to use the Red Hat Enterprise Linux tools. On Red

Hat Enterprise Linux 4, use up2date:

up2date redhat-ds

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, use yum:

yum update redhat-ds

NOTE

Both yum and up2date may install or require additional packages if dependencies

are missing or out-of-date.

Alternatively, download the latest packages from the Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 channel

on Red Hat Network, http://rhn.redhat.com.

It is also possible to install the Directory Server packages from media:

a. Download the packages from Red Hat Network, and burn them to CD or DVD.

b. Insert the media; the system should automatically recognize and mount the disc.

c. There is no autorun feature with the Directory Server packages, so open the directory on

the disc containing the Directory Server packages. For example:

cd /media/cdrecorder/RedHat/RPMS/

d. Install everything in the directory using rpm:
