The installation of the base system is not covered in this manual. A fully functional RHEL or CentOS installation is assumed to be set up. The supported versions of these Linux distributions are documented on the System Requirements (servers) page.

If you want to avoid setting up Linux yourself, there are pre-installed images available for VMWare and VirtualBox. See the Installation section for information on these methods.

...

Squirro packages are provided with a Yum repository. Yum is a utility, provided with the RHEL / CentOS Linux system, that downloads and installs packages from central repositories. To configure a new such repository, it needs to be set up using a file in the folder /etc/yum.repos.d.

Getting the Right version of Squirro

Please note that for production deployments, we recommend to use the latest LTS release from Squirro. This can be obtained by using the 3.2-lts in the baseurl of the yum repos config (see below) for the latest LTS release of 3.2 family. This will ensure that a simple yum update on the server will not update the server to the latest bi-weekly release.

Also note that, when Squirro release the next LTS release 3.3-lts, even then it has to be a conscious choice to point the link in the baseurl to the LTS release of 3.3 family. The previous 3.2-lts link will not get updated to point to the LTS release of 3.3 family.

Squirro

Create the file /etc/yum.repos.d/squirro.repo. The exact content of the file will be provided to you by Squirro support, when delivering the license.
