3.2. The Latest and Greatest
This chapter contains the installation instructions for Revisor.

3.1. Packages

You can install Revisor using RPM packages from the repositories already configured on your system.
revisor
Shorthand package for the Revisor GUI.
revisor-cli
The CLI version of Revisor. This package is always installed, as it contains the Python code for Revisor's core. Installing just this package will give you the command-line version of Revisor, and prevents the graphical dependencies from the revisor-gui package to be installed as well.
revisor-gui
The GUI version of Revisor. This is the actual package containing the Graphical User Interface, as opposed to revisor. Depends on revisor-cli, and thus also installs the command-line version of Revisor.

3.1.1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 or higher

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 or higher, and derivatives, install the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux[3] (EPEL) repository.
Then, give the following command:
# yum install revisor

3.1.2. Fedora 7 or higher

On Fedora 7 or higher, and derivatives, no additional repository configuration is required.
Give the following command:
# yum install revisor

About EOL Releases

Please bear in mind that Fedora releases that are past the point of End-Of-Life, approximatly 13 months after the initial release, are not supported anymore for use with Revisor. Also, the version of Revisor running on these EOL versions of Fedora are not supported anymore.
