RHEL / Centos / Scientific Linux 
================================

While you can go about building all these things from source, this
section will try and meet the dependencies using packages from EPEL_
[#f1]_. The *el5* and the soon available *el6* package should be compatible
with `CentOS`_ 5.x/6.x and `Scientific Linux`_.

EPEL_::

    [root@centos ~]# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

Install the bcfg2-server and bcfg2 RPMs::

    [root@centos ~]# yum install bcfg2-server bcfg2

.. note::

    The latest package for *el5* is only available in the testing repository.

.. [#f1] For more details check the EPEL_ `instructions <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#howtouse>`_
