# Installing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, CentOS and similar
**These instructions apply to any RPM-based distribution with `systemd` .**
2019-03-15 17:32:23 +00:00
RPM binary packages exist to simplify the installation of Yggdrasil. These
will also work on any other RPM-based distribution.

## Install RPM package from COPR repository
2020-12-22 10:50:25 +00:00
There's a [Fedora COPR repository ](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/rany/yggdrasil/ ) available, which provides recent versions of Yggdrasil - *only for Fedora!*
2019-06-02 15:43:10 +00:00
### Fedora
Installation on Fedora is easy as:
```bash
2020-12-22 10:50:25 +00:00
dnf copr enable rany/yggdrasil
2019-06-02 15:43:10 +00:00
dnf install yggdrasil
2019-03-15 17:32:23 +00:00
```
2019-06-02 15:43:10 +00:00
... and you're ready to go!
## One-off package install from CircleCI (not recommended!)
2019-03-15 17:32:23 +00:00
Visit our [Builds ](builds.md ) page and download the relevant `.rpm` file, then
install it on your system:
```
sudo groupadd --system yggdrasil
sudo rpm -i yggdrasil...rpm
```
Configuration will be generated automatically into `/etc/yggdrasil.conf` when
the package is installed, and the Yggdrasil service will automatically be
installed into systemd and started.
2019-06-02 15:43:10 +00:00
**Please note: By using this installation method, you won't receive (security-/) updates for Yggdrasil!**
2019-03-15 17:44:04 +00:00
## Making configuration changes
2019-03-15 17:32:23 +00:00
Modify the `/etc/yggdrasil.conf` file and then either reload the config:
```
systemctl reload yggdrasil
```
... or restart the Yggdrasil daemon altogether:
```
systemctl restart yggdrasil
```
