Quick Start

Using Software Collections

  1. Find a Software Collection (SCL) you are interested in. You can browse through the available SCLs in our Directory. We will use the rh-python35 SCL as an example.
  2. On CentOS, install the SCL release package `centos-release-scl`:

    yum install centos-release-scl
  3. On RHEL, enable the RHSCL repository. Note that you may also need to enable the Optional channel and attach a subscription providing access to RHSCL to be able to use that repository.

    yum-config-manager --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
  4. Install the main SCL package (its name is identical to the name of the Software Collection):
    yum install rh-python35
  5. Start using the Software Collection you just installed:
    scl enable rh-python35 bash

For more usage examples and documentation of more complex scenarios, see the Software Collections Packaging Guide.

If you need any help, you can ask your question on StackOverflow using the software-collections tag.
