This tutorial provides instructions for you to run an IPOP Access Point for PRAGMA-ENT. Before going through this tutorial, make sure that you check that your site does not already have an Access Point - please contact one of the coordinators (see below) to check if there is an Access Point already running, and to download credentials for your site.

If you are a user who would like to connect to an Access Point, please follow this tutorial instead

  1. Download the latest RPM package(ipop-0.1-1.x86_64.rpm) for access point from the link.

IPOP RPM for CentOs

or you can use below command on your console.

wget http://www.acis.ufl.edu/~xetron/pragma-ent/ipop-0.1-1.x86_64.rpm -O ipop-0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
  1. IPOP requires python-argparse package as a prerequisite. Install it if you don't have it.
sudo yum install python-argparse
  1. Install it on your CentOs 6.X.
sudo rpm -i ipop-0.1-1.x86_64.rpm
  1. Once package installation is complete, IPOP will be running with temporary credentials and host information (stored in the config file is at /etc/ipop.conf). You need to contact one of the coordinators (email addresses below) to get a new configuration file so that your Access Point is up and running.

When you try contact, make sure to cc Dr Ichikawa.

  1. After you retrieve the configuration file from the coordinator, place the ipop.conf file at /etc/. Then restart the IPOP service.
sudo /etc/init.d/ipop-service restart
