Install Linux

When installing Linux, you are in one of the following cases:

• You want to run Flame or Lustre: install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5, either Autodesk's distribution or one purchased from Red Hat directly.
• You want to run Flare or Flame Assist: either install CentOS 6.5, or as for Flame, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5.

About yum Updates

Never update your installation of RHEL with yum.

Both methods of installation, the RHEL Autodesk distro and the kickstart-updated RHEL, disable the yum update mechanism. This is to prevent the installation of components that could prevent Flame from running.
