Installing Rivendell
From Rivendell Wiki
NOTICE: As of Mid 2020, this article contains some out-of-date information. Please update it with more current details if you have them.
Appliance Installers
The preferred and easiest way to create a working Rivendell system is to use one of the standard "appliance" installers provided by Paravel Systems. The following Linux distributions are supported:
Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyfish" (also works with Linux Mint 21)
- Ubuntu 22.04 Appliance Installer for Rivendell 4.x (RECOMMENDED)
RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 (RHEL-7) (also works with CentOS 7)
- RHEL-7 Appliance Installer for Rivendell 4.x
- RHEL-7 Appliance Installer for Rivendell 3.x (DEPRECATED)
RedHat Enterprise Linux 8 (RHEL-8) (also works with Rocky Linux 8)
Building from Source
The "appliance" installations listed above can also be used as a basis for creating a development instance capable of building Rivendell from its original sources. While not recommended for use in production "on the air" environments, such a development instance can be extremely useful for for testing new features or bugfixes that have been committed to the GitHub repository but not yet released in the pre-built packages.
