Introduction
The following is a distribution-specific list of commands to install Samba.
Note, that the list of commands is neither provided nor actively verified by the Samba team. If you see any missing packages or incorrect package names, please update the command or send the information to the Samba mailing list.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS / Scientific Linux
Version 7
# yum install samba
Because of the missing MIT Kerberos support in Samba, you can not use the Samba packages provided by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 as a Samba AD DC. As alternative:
- build Samba. For details, see Build Samba from Source.
- use 3rd-party packages with AD support from a trusted source.
Note: For a DC, you will also need to install bind-utils
Version 6
# yum install samba4
