====== X2Go Packages for Redhat Enterprise Linux and derivatives ======

X2Go packages are provided by the Fedora EPEL project for RHEL and derivative distributions (e.g. CentOS and ScientificLinux).  See [[http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#Using_EPEL|using EPEL]] for instructions on how to configure the EPEL repository.

Now you can search for X2Go related package that are now available for your system via YUM:

<code bash>
$ yum search x2go
</code>

Congratulations, you are now able to access the X2Go packages. You may
continue by installing x2goserver, x2goclient or pyhoca-gui or any other of the available packages.

If you wish to install newer or test versions directly from the X2Go project, follow the instructions below in addition to configuring the EPEL repository.

<note important>Do not mix-and-match packages from the official EPEL repository with packages from the X2Go EPEL repository. Due to differing version number schemes, you will indefinitely run into problems. If you **really** need to switch between repositories, make sure to uninstall all X2Go packages first.</note>

===== Adding the X2Go Repository to your Package System =====

Add the file ''x2go.repo'' to the folder ''/etc/yum.repos.d/''.
This can be done using by your preferred editor.

<code bash>
$ editor /etc/yum.repos.d/x2go.repo
</code>

A sample content for this file can be found here, with the original information on [[http://packages.x2go.org/epel/x2go.repo]]. Be sure to **edit** this example to match your needs, mostly
the ''enabled'' key. ''source''-tagged repositories are only needed if you intend to build packages from source, while ''extras''-labeled repositories are always needed. By default, the ''release''-labeled binaries repository is enabled, while the ''nightly''-labeled binaries repository is disabled. If you want to try newer, unreleased software, disable the ''release''-labeled binaries repository and enable the ''nightly''-labeled binaries repository.
