PingAccess

Installing on RHEL 7 conventionally

Before you begin

Download and extract the pingaccess-agent-apache24-rhel7-<version>.zip archive.

Some dependencies might require access to the epel-release repository. To ensure your package manager has access, run the following command:

curl -O https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm && \ rpm -i epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

The agent RPM has required dependencies that might be available through standard repositories. If these dependencies are not available in your Linux version, you can install them using the included libpgm-5_2-0-5.2.122-32.1.x86_64.rpm, libsodium18-1.0.11-1.1.x86_64.rpm, and libzmq5-4.3.1-23.6.x86_64.rpm packages.

You can install these RPMs using the following command:

yum install libsodium*rpm libpgm*rpm libzmq*rpm
