RedHat

We normally recommend users to install on Debian servers wherever possible as those scripts are the best maintained.

If you need to install on a RedHat-based system then you may find the notes on this page useful:

Fedora

We have no Sahana-specific documentation, however this Web2Py script could be useful:

https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/scripts/setup-web2py-fedora.sh

CentOS 5

CentOS 5.x comes with just Python 2.4.3, so need to add the EPEL repository to upgrade to Python26
