Get Myrtle In Your University's Computer Lab

With many thanks to Mikolaj Izdebski, a software engineer at RedHat, Myrtle has now been made available on Fedora Linux. "Why is this a good thing?" you might ask. Well, Fedora is probably the single most popular Linux distribution in university computer labs today. So if you happen to be a teacher or student at a college or university, chances are there is now a 100% free way to get Myrtle running on those computers. Fedora and Myrtle are freely available which makes it perfect for many school or classroom budgets.  To find out more about Fedora Linux (or even try it out) click here. 

If your computer lab has a system administrator, simply ask them about installing Myrtle for you.  On the other hand, if you are a "do-it-yourself" type and would like to install Myrtle on your system, simply follow one of these simple approaches:  

1.  Use Gnome's Software Updater

    Type "myrtle" into Software Update's search bar to find the latest available package release.
   
   
   
   
   Then, just click "Install Package."

2.  Command Line Using Yum

   On the other hand, if you prefer to work from the command line, just open a terminal window.  At the prompt type the following:

yum -y install myrtle

which would download the latest stable release.  If instead you'd like to get the very latest bleeding-edge release use:

yum -y --enablerepo="updates-testing" install myrtle
