# Install on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

This page describes the recommended instructions for installing the latest stable version of `rippled` on **Red Hat Enterprise Linux**, using a binary that has been compiled and published by Ripple as an `rpm` package.

Currently, **Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.6 is supported on x86_64 processors**. You may also be able to adapt these instructions to similar Linux distributions including CentOS or Rocky Linux, but other configurations are not officially supported.

## Prerequisites

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


## Installation Steps

1. Install the Ripple RPM repository:

    Choose the appropriate RPM repository for the stability of releases you want:

    - `stable` for the latest production release (`master` branch)
    - `unstable` for pre-release builds (`release` branch)
    - `nightly` for experimental/development builds (`develop` branch)

    {% tabs %}

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

    ```{% label="Pre-release" %}
    cat << REPOFILE | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/ripple.repo
    [ripple-unstable]
    name=XRP Ledger Packages
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=0
    repo_gpgcheck=1
    baseurl=https://repos.ripple.com/repos/rippled-rpm/unstable/
    gpgkey=https://repos.ripple.com/repos/rippled-rpm/unstable/repodata/repomd.xml.key
    REPOFILE
    ```

    ```{% label="Development" %}
    cat << REPOFILE | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/ripple.repo
    [ripple-nightly]
    name=XRP Ledger Packages
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=0
    repo_gpgcheck=1
    baseurl=https://repos.ripple.com/repos/rippled-rpm/nightly/
    gpgkey=https://repos.ripple.com/repos/rippled-rpm/nightly/repodata/repomd.xml.key
    REPOFILE
    ```

    {% /tabs %}

2. Fetch the latest repo updates:

    ```
    sudo yum -y update
    ```

3. Install the new `rippled` package:

    ```
    sudo yum install rippled
    ```

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
    ```
