== About ==
== About ==
For certain applications, more recent versions of some software components are often needed in order to use their latest new features. Software Collections provides a set of dynamic programming languages, database servers, and various related packages that are either more recent than their equivalent versions included in the base SME Server 9.x system.
For certain applications, more recent versions of some software components are often needed in order to use their latest new features. Software Collections provides a set of dynamic programming languages, database servers, and various related packages that are either more recent than their equivalent versions included in the base SME Server 9.x system. Software Collections is only available for SME Server 9.x '''64-bit'''
== Installation ==
The Software Collections (scl) packages can be installed by issuing the following command:
yum install scl-utils
This will only install the scl 'environment'. For installation of the individual applications, please see below.
=== Enable scl repositories ===
To be able to install a specific scl application, one must enable the one of the '''[[Software Collections Repositories]]''' based on the required application. See the '''[[Software Collections Repositories]]''' page on how to enable the desired repository.
=== Installation of a collection ===
To be able to install an application from the Software Collections, one must enable the respective application repo. As an example, enable the scl-php54 repo and to list all available versions the following command can be used:
yum list available \* --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=scl-php54
yum list available \* --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=scl-php54
and to install a collection: (example)
php54 will be listed, and to install that version:
yum install php54 --enablerepo=scl-php54
yum install php54 --enablerepo=scl-php54
Please see the specific application sections below on detailed installation instructions.
You can verify installed Software Collections by issuing:
scl -l
scl -l
Collections will be installed in:
Collections will be installed in:
/opt/rh
/opt/rh
The '''/opt''' is the highly recommended installation location. However, in the case of SME Server, considerations to install in a different location could be considered regarding default backups etc. e.g. '/home/e-smith/files/scl/sme'.

== Software Collections applications ==
{{Note box|Please note that this is still a work in progress. Each individual application will store it's data into their own environment/directory, which by default will NOT be backed up by SME Server. This is being worked on.}}
