RedHat Server Install

#1 Install RedHat

This document provides instructions for installing Row64 Server on Red Hat 10

Get the RHEL Server ISO version 10 from:
https://developers.redhat.com/products/rhel/download#getredhatenterpriselinux7163

Create a row64 user in the RedHat install process

Requirements:

  • Run these installation steps as row64

  • The row64 user should have administrator privileges

  • Make sure in the future if you interact in the folders row64 uses, that you do so as the row64 user.

Install Ubuntu 24.04 or 25.04

You will need to create a user called row64 with administrator privileges.

#2 Install Row64 Server

Get the latest .rpm file here:
https://app.row64.com/Install/V3_5/RedHatNC/row64server-3.5-0.x86_64.rpm



From the console, run:

sudo rpm -ivh row64server-3.5-0.x86_64.rpm



Next, connect Row64 with Apache (Web Server). From the console, run:

sudo python /opt/row64server/install/Connect_RedHat.py



NOTE: To simplify installation, this .py will install Apache and connect Row64 for you.

If you want to modify or tune this installation, you can modify this .py file. It’s a minimal and straightforward process.

#3 Verify row64server Is Running

In the console, type:

sudo systemctl status row64server

If it's working, it will look like this:

Other useful commands:

sudo systemctl start row64server
sudo systemctl stop row64server

Verify that the installation and setup was successful by running test examples. Refer to the corresponding documentation on how to do this:
Running Test Examples

#4 Get Browser Video On The Server

If you want to see video in the browser on the server, you may have trouble with RedHat Firefox, which disables .mp4 video.

To work around this, use the Chrome browser. To install Chrome, use the following commands in the console:

wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm

sudo yum install ./google-chrome-stable_current_*.rpm

google-chrome

#5 Internal Network - Get IP Address

The simplest way to connect Row64 Studio to a server on the same internal network is with the local IP address.

Get that using:

ip address

#7 Extra Tools

Sublime Text Editor

Our preferred text editor is Sublime Text. It can be installed with the following command:

sudo snap install sublime-text --classic

Chrome

If you install Chrome on the server, be aware that Chrome has two web assembly compilers, and in older versions, can occasionally run a slow compiler. If you notice Chrome is slower:

Navigate to this editing page: chrome://flags/#enable-webassembly-baseline

And change “WebAssembly baseline compiler” to “Disabled”
