Installation

We currently install RDRF on CentOS servers which is the supported platform. There is nothing preventing you to install RDRF on any other Linux distribution, but installing on CentOS is easiest using the RPMs we provide.

Theoretically, you could install on any platform that can run a Python WSGI application. Additionally you will need access to a database server (Postgresql), MongoDB, and Memcached.
