1. The easiest way to install the AG Toolkit Fedora RPM packages is to use the yum package manager which is included with Fedora. It provides automatic downloading and installation of packages that you specify and also retrieves any missing dependencies.

2. Start up "Terminal" and switch to superuser. Change into the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. Create a file called ag-fedora-stable.repo and edit it. To do this type "vi ag-fedora-stable.repo". You then need to type the following into the file. When you are finished, hit the "esc" key, type ":wq" then hit the enter key to save and exit:

[accessgrid3]
name=AccessGrid Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/accessgrid3/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Installation of the Access Grid Toolkit 3.x

issue the command:

yum install AccessGrid

After installation, logout and login to allow the new GNOME/KDE Access Grid menu to take effect.

If should be noted, that additional packages are installed when a "yum install AccessGrid" is completed. These include:

• AGVCR;
• VPCScreen Capture;
• SUMOVER "vic" and "rat";

Installation of the Access Grid Toolkit 2.x

issue the command:

yum install compat-AccessGrid-2.4

After installation, logout and login to allow the new GNOME/KDE Access Grid menu to take effect.

Installation of Additional Access Grid Software

If you wish to use the Shared Presentation application, then you will also need to install the openoffice.org-pyuno RPM:

yum install openoffice.org-pyuno
