# Installing Flight User Suite

The OpenFlight project packages tools as both RPMs and debs that are hosted in package repositories which can be quickly installed with a couple of commands. These need to be set up before the User Suite can be installed.

# Adding the OpenFlight Package Repositories

Install the OpenFlight release RPM:

sudo yum install https://repo.openflighthpc.org/pub/centos/7/openflighthpc-release-latest.noarch.rpm

Rebuild the yum cache:

sudo yum makecache

Some tools require packages available in the EPEL repository, this can be installed with sudo yum install epel-release

Install the OpenFlight release RPM:

sudo dnf install https://repo.openflighthpc.org/openflight/centos/8/x86_64/openflighthpc-release-3-1.noarch.rpm

Add the Power Tools repository:

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

There are 3 repositories available - production (enabled by default), dev (providing development releases of tools) and vault (access to old, unsupported versions and retired tools).

# Installing the User Suite

The quickest and simplest way to get up and running with the user suite is to simply install the group package for the tools. This will ensure that compatible versions of all the tools are installed.

Install the user suite RPM:

sudo yum install flight-user-suite

Install the user suite RPM:

sudo dnf install flight-user-suite

Install the user suite deb:

sudo apt-get install flight-user-suite

Install the user suite deb:

sudo apt-get install flight-user-suite

After installation, either reboot your system or logout and back in again to expose the flight command to the shell
