2.2. Installing from an ISO Image

NoteNote
 

Red Hat Application Server and Red Hat Developer Suite are available in ISO format from Red Hat Network and the http://ftp.redhat.com site.

  1. Obtain the Red Hat Application Server and Developer Suite:

    • To obtain the Red Hat Application Server and Red Hat Developer Suite ISO from RHN:

      1. Log into your account at: http://rhn.redhat.com/

      2. Select Software.

      3. Select Easy ISOs and download the Red Hat Application Server and Developer Suite ISO image.

    • To obtain the Red Hat Application Server and Red Hat Developer Suite ISO from the http://ftp.redhat.com site:

      1. Point your browser to http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/RHAPS/1.0.

      2. Select the architecture of your target machine.

      3. Read the EULA.

      4. Select the ISO image to start the download.

  2. You may install using the ISO (as root) by either directly installing the RPMs or by using the graphical installer. The graphical installer is described in detail in Chapter 3 Using the Graphical Installer. Refer to this section now if you are installing using the graphical installer.

  3. If you are directly installing the RPMs, how you proceed depends on whether you chose to burn a CD of the ISO:

    • If you chose to burn a CD of the ISO, upon inserting it you will most likely be presented with the choice of running the graphical installer; select No. Should you not be prompted, run the following commands (as root) to mount the CD:

      mkdir /mnt/rhaps
      mount /mnt/cdrom /mnt/rhaps
    • If you chose not to burn a CD of the ISO, you will need to mount the ISO image. Do so with the following commands (as root):

      mkdir /mnt/rhaps
      mount -o ro,loop path_to_iso /mnt/rhaps
  4. Use the following commands to install the Red Hat Application Server RPMs:

    cd /mnt/rhaps/RedHat/RPMS/
    rpm -Uvh desired_packages
