+ | ====== **Downloading and Running the Re-Install Script from the Server** ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The re-install script must be downloaded to your computer from the server. This will | ||
+ | ensure you have the latest version of the re-install script, as it changes all the time as | ||
+ | new versions of IRLP and Linux are released. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you used the USB stick to transfer the file, just place the USB stick into one of the | ||
+ | node’s USB ports. | ||
+ | |||
+ | //**To download and run the script, perform the following steps:**// | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Log in as user root | ||
+ | 2. cd /root/ | ||
+ | 3. ./ | ||
+ | 4. When prompted, choose a re-install | ||
+ | |||
+ | During the re-install process you will be asked several Yes or No questions. You will be | ||
+ | prompted with (y/N) on (Y/n). You can type either " | ||
+ | press enter, the capitalized choice will be chosen. (example : Pressing ENTER when you | ||
+ | see (y/N) will answer NO) | ||
+ | |||
+ | On successful execution, you will see text explaining what the script does. Type what is | ||
+ | asks you to type and press ENTER to continue. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The script now performs a series of checks to make sure the following are installed and | ||
+ | working correctly. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Supported IRLP Linux version. | ||
+ | 2. Connection type (Ethernet, PPP). | ||
+ | 3. Whether you are behind a firewall or not. | ||
+ | 4. Sound Card detected correctly. | ||
+ | 5. Existence of required awk, sed, lynx, ncftpget, and pico/nano programs. | ||
+ | 6. Checks to make sure your hostname resolves, and if not, prompts to add a line to | ||
+ | your hosts file. | ||
+ | 7. Detects if your IP is assigned by DHCP behind a router and sets your IP static. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You may be asked to confirm a few things in the above checks, or the script may exit if | ||
+ | there is a problem detected. If you installed all of the required packages for IRLP, and are | ||
+ | running a properly installed IRLP CentOS system, there should be no problems. If you do | ||
+ | run into problems you cannot solve, please contact installs@irlp.net for assistance. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The magic automatically begins. The files will then be downloaded from the server | ||
+ | directly, and you will be ensured the most up-to-date system. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You will see a bunch of text flashing across the screen, and you will be prompted to press | ||
+ | ENTER once the files have been downloaded and installed. If there is an error during this | ||
+ | step of the process, they will cause the script to exit. If after running the script a few | ||
+ | times, you get the same error repeatedly, please report the problem to installs@irlp.net | ||
+ | |||
+ | The environment file is built, file permissions are set, and a final update of the filesystem | ||
+ | is performed. A few patches and checks are run. The backup file is extracted, and the | ||
+ | magic is complete! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Since your PGP key is already installed on the server, and you have transferred it from | ||
+ | your old node, you can now use your node as before. Make sure you rerun all of the | ||
+ | steps in the after-install, | ||
+ | node. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Be sure to use the echo reflector to test and ensure your node is operating properly. If | ||
+ | you have any questions or comments about this document, or the re-install process of | ||
+ | your IRLP node, please contact the installs crew at installs@irlp.net |
