2.6. Fedora

This section describes how to install groonga related RPM packages on Fedora. You can install them by yum.

Groonga related RPM pakcages are also in the official Fedora yum repository. So you can use them instead of the groonga yum repository. The different between the groonga yum repository and the official Fedora yum repository is that the groonga yum repository provides the latest version at the release day but the official Fedora yum repository provides the latest version a few days later. That is, the different is very small. :-)

We distribute both 32-bit and 64-bit packages but we strongly recommend a 64-bit package for server. You should use a 32-bit package just only for tests or development. You will encounter an out of memory error with a 32-bit package even if you just process medium size data.
