How to install - Fedora 33 #149

Closed matt101010101 closed 3 years ago

matt101010101 commented 3 years ago

Hi, sorry totally new to installing from source. I am using Fedora 33 workstation edition.

Can i install this from a user account, without root? If so will selinux effect it?

Has anyone who runs Fedora tried this?

Yes you can, but not using 'make install' of course, you need to install it manually to somewhere your user has permission to write. Then if it works or not depends on if your FUSE installation was done properly to allow access to /dev/fuse. Also note that you do not really need to "install" anything to verify if it works or not, you can run it straight from the src build directory.

If so will selinux effect it?

I cannot answer that I am afraid. I suggest you try it and take if from there.

I can also see now that Fedora ships with a lot of FUSE based packages already. I see no reason why rar2fs should not work in Fedora.

Got it built and installed and works great! thanks a load for writing and maintaining this!

This should be in every distros repo.

If it helps anyone else; if you build it as a user, and not make install, just copy in to your path, selinux is a non issue.

Good that it worked out for you!
