Installing Yate from RPMs

If you want to get Yate up and running on your RedHat-based system, here is hopefully the quickest way to get going.

Download RPMs

Download the Yate RPM for your CPU type, into your favourite folder (we use /usr/src).

rpm -Uhv yate-4.3.0-1mdv2009.1.x86_64.rpm

(this file name may change so just type rpm -Uhv yat and then press tab and let the shell complete the name for you)

Change starting parameters

The Yate starting script file, that can be found depending on Linux distribution, for example in /etc/init.d, where all service start scripts are installed (in Mandriva).

By default Yate is started as a supervised daemon with this parameters:

• -v: Verbose debugging (you can use more than once)
• -F: Increase the maximum file handle to compiled value
• -r: Enable rotation of log file (needs -s and -l)
• -l filename: Log to file
• -Df: Timestamp debugging in GMT format YYYYMMDDhhmmss.uuuuuu

You may also alter the command line options from service start script. To see the existing options you can run command yate --help.
