External Dependencies

The following sections explain how to install the dependencies from the Fedora Extra Packages for Enterpise Linux (EPEL) and Red Hat/CentOS repositories. Dependencies not available from either of those sources are included with REDHAWK.

Installing the EPEL Repository

This section explains how to install the EPEL repository.

For more information on the Fedora EPEL project, refer to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL.

From the Fedora Downloads Site

Install the EPEL repository on your system from the Fedora downloads site.

For RHEL/CentOS 7:

sudo yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

For RHEL/CentOS 6:

sudo yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm

Standalone EPEL from REDHAWK

REDHAWK provides a condensed version of the EPEL yum repository that can be used to satisfy the required external dependencies from the EPEL repository. The repository is available from the REDHAWK release page on github (https://github.com/RedhawkSDR/redhawk/releases/<version>). (Where <version> corresponds to the version of the REDHAWK IDE. For example, for REDHAWK version 2.0.3, https://github.com/RedhawkSDR/redhawk/releases/2.0.3).

To install the Standalone EPEL yum repository from REDHAWK, use the following commands:

wget https://github.com/RedhawkSDR/redhawk/releases/download/<version>/redhawk-yum-<version>-<dist>-<arch>.tar.gz
tar xf redhawk-yum-<version>-<dist>-<arch>.tar.gz
cd redhawk-yum-<version>-<dist>-<arch>
sudo yum install --nogpgcheck *.rpm

Where <version>, <dist>, and <arch> correspond to the associated REDHAWK version, Linux distribution, and architecture respectively. For example, for REDHAWK version 2.0.3, 64-bit CentOS 6, redhawk-yum-2.0.3-el6-x86_64.tar.gz.
