The `epel-release`\npackage configures yum to use the EPEL repository.   On CentOS, the package\nis provided by the CentOS Extras repository, which is enabled by default;\non RHEL, you must enable the 'optional' and 'extras' repositories.   To\nenable EPEL, type the following as root:\n\n```\nyum install -y epel-release\n```\n\nAfter adding EPEL, install a couple of prerequisites:\n\n```\nyum install -y mock redhat-lsb-core centos-release-xen\n```\n\nMock will refuse to run as root. You must choose a non-privileged user to\nrun mock as. Type the following as root:\n\n(Note select a `\u003cuser\u003e` which isn't \"mock\" when typing the commands below)\n\n```\nuseradd \u003cuser\u003e -G mock\npasswd \u003cuser\u003e\n\nsu --login \u003cuser\u003e\n```\n\nYou are now ready to clone the buildroot repository and build the packages:\n\n```\ngit clone git://github.com/xenserver/buildroot.git\ncd buildroot\n\n./configure\nmake\n```\n\nFinally, install the packages you have just built, run the install wizard to configure your system to boot Xen and start the buildroot components on boot, then reboot:\n```\nmake install\nxenserver-install-wizard\nreboot\n```\n\n\nDebian-based distributions (experimental)\n-----------------------------------------\n\nBuilding Debian packages is experimental!\n\nThe Debian/Ubuntu package build uses [cowbuilder](https://wiki.debian.org/cowbuilder), which needs to run as root, so you may wish to add your user to the `sudoers` list.\n\nThe build also depends on OCaml 4.01.0, now available in Ubuntu Trusty and Debian Jessie.\n\nThe steps to build Debian packages are the same as those to build RPMs:\n\n```\ngit clone git://github.com/xenserver/buildroot.git\ncd buildroot\n\n./configure\nmake\n\nmake install\nxenserver-install-wizard\nreboot\n```\n\nStatus by distro\n----------------\n\nSome distros get more attention that others and are likely to work better, on average.\nHere are the distros which are being actively used:\n\n- Ubuntu-14.04: @djs55\n- CentOS 7: @euanh\n\nIf you are actively using a distro and feel able to fix bugs in it, please add yourself\nto the list.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxenserver%2Fbuildroot","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fxenserver%2Fbuildroot","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxenserver%2Fbuildroot/lists"}
