# 2.6. Fedora

This section describes how to install groonga related RPM packages on Fedora. You can install them by `yum`.

Groonga related RPM pakcages are also in the official Fedora yum repository. So you can use them instead of the groonga yum repository. The different between the groonga yum repository and the official Fedora yum repository is that the groonga yum repository provides the latest version at the release day but the official Fedora yum repository provides the latest version a few days later. That is, the different is very small. :-)

We distribute both 32-bit and 64-bit packages but we strongly recommend a 64-bit package for server. You should use a 32-bit package just only for tests or development. You will encounter an out of memory error with a 32-bit package even if you just process medium size data.

Note

The package 'groonga' is the mininum set of fulltext search engine. If you want to use groonga for server use, you can install additional preconfigured packages.

There are three packages for server use.

- groonga-server-http (simple HTTP protocol based server package)
- groonga-httpd (nginx and HTTP protocol based server package)
- groonga-server-gqtp (GQTP protocol based server package)

See Server section about details.
