Installation Packages and Installation Steps

Additional Prerequisite Considerations for Installation on Charon Host

When installing the Charon Manager on the Charon-SSP host in the cloud (for example to display it via a remote X11-connection) instead of on a local management system, additional packages may have to be installed that normally are already available in a workstation environment.  In the current version, the Charon-SSP manager installation does not check these dependencies. 

In particular, the Charon-SSP Manager requires the following packages:

  • libX11
  • xorg-x11-server-utils
  • gtk2
  • libssh2
  • xorg-x11-xauth

The packages above have their own dependencies. Install the above packages with the yum command in order to have their dependencies automatically installed. If your server does not have access to the standard operating system repositories, refer to this document for instructions on setting up a local repositories.

(info) The exact list of additionally required packages depends on what is already installed on the server.
