Configure xCAT Software Repository¶

xCAT software and repo files can be obtained from: http://xcat.org/download.html

Internet Repository¶

[xcat-core]

From the xCAT download page, find the build you want to install and add to /etc/apt/sources.list.

To configure the xCAT development build, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/apt/devel/core-snap trusty main

[xcat-dep]

To configure the xCAT deps online repository, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://xcat.org/files/xcat/repos/apt/xcat-dep trusty main

If using internet repositories, continue to the next step to install xCAT.
