Installing SchoolTool on Fedora Linux

Currently RPM packages, developed and used by OLE Nepal for Fedora 9 and 13 are mirrored on ftp.schooltool.org.

To install the standard SchoolTool distribution on Fedora 9, excecute the following commands in a terminal as a privileged user:

yum update
yum install wget
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://ftp.schooltool.org/rpms/fedora_9.schooltool.repo
yum update
yum install schooltool-intervention

This will include all the standard SchoolTool components, the core schooltool package, schooltool-gradebook, schooltool-lyceum-journal as well as the many Zope and Python libraries. These can be installed separately if desired.

To install on Fedora 13, simply replace:

wget http://ftp.schooltool.org/rpms/fedora_9.schooltool.repo

with:

wget http://ftp.schooltool.org/rpms/fedora_13.schooltool.repo

To make SchoolTool start at every boot, execute this command at the terminal as a privileged user:

chkconfig --add schooltoold
chkconfig schooltoold on

The Fedora packages are maintained by Abhishek Singh, aks (at) fedoraproject.org. The packaging sources (spec files and patches) are available from this git repository.
