# Install on CentOS/Red Hat with yum

This page describes the recommended instructions for installing the latest stable version of `rippled` on **CentOS 7** or **Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7**, using Ripple's [yum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellowdog_Updater,_Modified) repository.

These instructions install a binary that has been compiled by Ripple.


## Prerequisites

Before you install `rippled`, you must meet the [System Requirements](system-requirements.html).


## Installation Steps

1. Install the Ripple RPM repository:

        $ cat << REPOFILE | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/ripple.repo
        [ripple-stable]
        name=XRP Ledger Packages
        baseurl=https://repos.ripple.com/repos/rippled-rpm/stable/
        enabled=1
        gpgcheck=0
        gpgkey=https://repos.ripple.com/repos/rippled-rpm/stable/repodata/repomd.xml.key
        repo_gpgcheck=1
        REPOFILE

2. Fetch the latest repo updates:

        $ sudo yum -y update

3. Install the new `rippled` package:

        $ sudo yum install rippled

    Version 1.3.1 does not require any changes to your config files (`rippled.cfg` and `validators.txt`). This update procedure leaves your existing config files in place.

4. Reload systemd unit files:

        $ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

5. Configure the `rippled` service to start on boot:

        $ sudo systemctl enable rippled.service

6. Start the `rippled` service:

        $ sudo systemctl start rippled.service
