2.2. Installing OpenHPI

The quickest way to get going with OpenHPI would be to install the binary RPMs. Simply by doing:

       bash$ rpm -Uvh openhpi-0.x-x.i386.rpm
     

However, you can also install by compiling the source from the tar archive. Please read the README file included in the source for dependencies and required libraries and packages.

Having all dependencies satisfied, simply:

       bash$ tar -zvxf openhpi-0.x.tar.gz
        bash$ cd openhpi-0.x
        bash$ ./configure 
        (you can pass many flags here, ./configure --help will list them)
        bash$ make
        bash$ make install
        bash$ mkdir -p /etc/openhpi
        bash$ cp examples/openhpi.conf.example /etc/openhpi/openhpi.con
