Setting up the license key in a SquirroBox

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.

  1. Create or edit /etc/yum.repos.d/squirro.repo :

    [squirro-stable]
    name=Squirro - CentOS-$releasever - Stable
    baseurl=https://FILL_IN_USERNAME_AND:PASSWORD@mirror.squirro.net/centos/$releasever/stable/$basearch/latest
    enabled=1
    gpgkey=https://mirror.squirro.net/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-squirro-stable
    gpgcheck=1
    sslverify=1
    metadata_expire=300
  2. Insert the repository credentials you got for accessing the Squirro Yum repository in this file. Replace FILL_IN_USERNAME_AND by the username and PASSWORD by your password. Also enable the repo by changing the value for "enabled".
