Downloading Rudder

Prerequisite for Rudder server

• You will need OpenJDK? 7 or later or Oracle JVM 6 or later (http://www.java.com)
• Your machine will need at least 1 GB of RAM but 2 GB is recommended

Prerequisite for Rudder nodes (managed machines)

• All you need is basic system libraries (OpenSSL?, PCRE and BerkeleyDB?) and a small amount of RAM (10-20 MB max)

You have two options to download Rudder, each one corresponding to a different need. For general use or a first time install, you might prefer to use the package repository, which allows for quick and efficient installation for both an agent and a server.

Using your package manager (Recommended)

This is the preferred way of installing Rudder, just follow these instructions:

• For Rudder 2.3 (stable) : http://www.rudder-project.org/rudder-doc/rudder-doc.html#_install_rudder_server
• For Rudder 2.4 (development): http://www.rudder-project.org/rudder-doc-2.4/rudder-doc.html#_install_rudder_server
