#Fedora Installation
## Step 1: System Pre-requirements
A few system packages need to be installed before we can install the risu gem. These packages include packages that [RVM](https://rvm.io/) recommends to have installed also. Select Yes to any extra packages it adds. As root execute the following:
# yum install -y autoconf automake bison bzip2 curl diffutils gcc gcc-c++ git glibc gsfonts iconv-devel imagemagick ImageMagick-c++-devel.x86_64 libffi-devel libmysqlclient libsqlite3x-devel.x86_64 libtool libxml2 libxml2-devel.x86_64 libxslt libyaml libyaml-devel make mysql-devel.x86_64 ncurses openssl openssl-devel patch readline readline-devel sqlite subversion zlib zlib-devel
## Step 2: Install RVM
Follow the instructions [here](https://rvm.io/rvm/install/) to setup a working RVM environment. The following is a quick list of commands to install it, check the site for the latest. As your user run the following:
% curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
% source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
% rvm install 1.9.3
% rvm use 1.9.3 --default
## Step 3: Install Risu
Risu is configured to auto install any dependent gems that is depends on, this makes installation much easier.
% gem install risu
## Step 4: Test Risu
To test and see if the install run the following command
% risu -v
You should see output like the following:
% risu -v
risu: 1.6.0
Ruby Version: 1.9.3
Rubygems Version: 1.8.24
