download

The following is a brief overview of the steps to install the SDK. More details can be found in the SDK Installation Guide

   1. Install the Linux Operating System (Fedora 7) on the target hardware.
   2. Uninstall SDK 2.1 or the early release of SDK 3.0 if you installed a previous version of the SDK.
   3. Install the SDK prerequisites using YUM
      yum install rsync sed tcl wget
   4. Stop the YUM updater daemon
      /etc/init.d/yum-updatesd stop
   5. Download the attached SDK installer RPM and ISO images into a temporary directory such as /tmp/cellsdkiso. The Extras ISO is optional.
   6. Install the SDK Installer using RPM
      rpm -ivh cell-install-3.0.0-1.0.noarch.rpm
   7. Install the SDK
      cd /opt/cell
      ./cellsdk --iso /tmp/cellsdkiso install
   8. Add exclusions to the YUM configuration file /etc/yum.conf
      exclude=blas kernel numactl oprofile
   9. Restart the YUM updater daemon
      /etc/init.d/yum-updatesd start
