deploying_e.f.a._on_clean_centos

It is possible to run E.F.A. on a VPS that only grants you the option to do a bare installation of CentOS.

Note that this is only for experienced users and should be avoided for normal usage unless you really have to.

Warning: Building E.F.A. should only be done by users with extensive Linux knowledge.

Requirements

You will need the following requirements:

Centos 6 x64 minimal installation pre-installed
- If you have the option partition the disk as:
  - 512MB EXT3 /boot
  - LVM Physical volume for the rest (call it vg_00):
    - 8GB / (call it lv_root)
    - 10GB /tmp (call it lv_tmp)
    - 4GB SWAP (call it lv_swap)
    - xxGB /var (call it lv_var) (the reset of your disk space)
Atleast 30GB of harddrive space
4GB memory
Active internet connection (About 0.5 ~ 1GB will be downloaded, depending on the needed updates.)
Root access
Free access over the internet (minimum is http/https access)
A bunch of free time

Make sure you have root access to the system and login as the root user (or su - root)
Make sure the system is fully updated:
1. yum -y update
Install wget & screen:
1. yum -y install wget screen
Get the installation script:
1. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/E-F-A/v3/master/build/prepare-build-without-ks.bash
Make the script executable:
1. chmod 700 prepare-build-without-ks.bash
Start a screen session:
1. screen
Start the installation:
1. ./prepare-build-without-ks.bash
The system is now installed, depending on the speed of your internet connection and the speed of the system this can take a while, so sit back and let it run.

After building the system you will need to follow the normal Initial Configuration.
