Installing Ginger-base

Ginger-base 2.3.0 is supported in Fedora 25, Ubuntu 16.10, Opensuse Leap 42.2 and CentOS 7. As a WoK plug-in, WoK is needed to be installed for Ginger-base to run.

Fedora and RHEL:

First, download the files below if running F25:

WoK Fedora rpm
Ginger-base Fedora rpm

Or these files if running CentOS 7:

WoK CentOS 7 rpm
Ginger-base CentOS 7 rpm

Then execute in a terminal:

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

Ubuntu:

First, download all the files below:

WoK for Ubuntu deb
Ginger-base for Ubuntu deb

Then execute in a terminal:

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

openSUSE:

First, download all the files below:

WoK for OpenSuse LEAP
Ginger-base for OpenSuse LEAP

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 and ginger-base rpms>

Restarting wokd service

After installing Ginger-base package, you just need to start WoK service to get it up:

sudo service wokd start

or:

sudo systemctl restart wokd.service
