Installation on RedHat
======================
Installation on Red Hat Linux
=============================
Installing Varnish Cache is as simple as enabling our package
repository and installing the packages. Varnish Cache 4.0 and 4.1
are supported on EL6 and EL7.
Varnish Cache is packaged in RPMs for easy installation and upgrade on Red Hat
systems.
Official packages
-----------------
The Varnish Cache project maintains official packages for the current Enterprise Linux versions.
Varnish Cache 4.0 and 4.1 are supported on EL6 and EL7.

The --no-signature is only needed on initial installation, since
The `--no-signature` argument is only needed on initial installation, since
the Varnish GPG key is not yet in the yum keyring.
Varnish Cache is also distributed in the EPEL (Extra Packages for
Enterprise Linux) package repositories. However, while EPEL allows
new versions to be distributed, it does not allow for
backwards-incompatible changes. Therefore, new major versions will
not hit EPEL and it is not necessarily up to date.
External packaging
------------------
Varnish Cache is also distributed in third party package repositories.
.. _`Fedora EPEL`: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
* `Fedora EPEL`_ does community packaging of Varnish Cache.
* RedHat has packaged versions of Varnish Cache available since Software Collections 2.1. Announcement on <http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2015/11/17/software-collections-2-1-generally-available/>.
