Installing CKAN on Fedora

Install dependencies

Mono

Install the latest version of Mono:

Below Fedora 22:

sudo yum install mono-complete

Fedora 22 and up:

sudo dnf install mono-complete

libcurl

CKAN requires libcurl to download mods:

Below Fedora 22:

yum install libcurl-devel

Fedora 22 and up:

dnf install libcurl-devel

Run CKAN

Double click ckan.exe. If the OS asks you for a program to open it with, type mono.

Or use the shell to start CKAN with:

mono ckan.exe

Troubleshooting

Import certificates

See SSL certificate errors if you encounter errors related to certificates.

Non-English locales

If your system is in a non-English locale (for example Cyrillic), then CKAN may fail with this error:

Unhandled Exception:
System.NotSupportedException: CodePage 866 not supported

To remedy that run CKAN with a forced neutral locale:

LANG=C mono ckan.exe
