Installing Ginger

Ginger 2.4.0 is supported in Fedora 25, Ubuntu 16.10, Opensuse Leap 42.2 and Cent OS 7. As a WoK plug-in and dependent on Ginger-base, both are needed to be installed for Ginger to run.

Fedora and CentOS 7:

First, download the files below if running F25:

WoK Fedora rpm
Ginger-base Fedora rpm
Ginger Fedora rpm

Or these files if running CentOS 7:

WoK CentOS 7 rpm
Ginger-base CentOS 7 rpm
Ginger CentOS 7 rpm

Then execute in a terminal:

sudo yum/dnf install <wok, ginger-base and ginger rpms>

Ubuntu:

First, download all the files below:

WoK for Ubuntu 16.10 deb
Ginger-base for Ubuntu 16.10 deb
Ginger for Ubuntu 16.10 deb

Then execute in a terminal:

sudo dpkg -i <wok, ginger-base and ginger debs>

openSUSE:

First, download all the files below:

WoK for OpenSuse LEAP 42.2
Ginger-base for OpenSuse LEAP 42.2
Ginger for OpenSuse LEAP 42.2

For Opensuse LEAP additional repos are needed to install dependencies:

sudo zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization/openSUSE_Leap_42.1 virt_repo
sudo zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pxc:/winswitch/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/ winswitch_repo
sudo zypper refresh

If asked to trust the repositories keys, choose to 'trust always'. These are official Suse repos.

Finally:

sudo zypper install <wok, ginger-base and ginger rpms>

Restarting wokd service

After installing Ginger, you just need to restart wokd service to get it up:

sudo systemctl restart wokd.service

or:

sudo service wokd restart

Note: The above command line may vary depends on your operating system.

Then access WoK in your favorite browser https://<machine-ip>/8001

Have fun! =)
