How do I install programs from sourcode ?

This post was originally made in an incorect tread so I repost it here.

It will be needed a development environment.

First of all one need to open up for the installation of individual program packages in the server-manager panel.
Then it is to choose the right repositories from the server-manager panel.

This will affect also the options that is available from shell.

I went into Linux shell via Putty and installed these packages.

1. Go to the server-manager panel and enable the yum function (program installer)
2. yum install kernel-devel Kernel-headers
3. yum install gcc
4. yum install cvs
5. yum install openssl-devel

I believe this should work for most purposes.

WARNING: HAVING AN DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT INSTALLED WILL GIVE MORE DANGEROUS OPTIONS TO A HACKER THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO ENTER YOUR SERVER. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THIS ALSO COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF GETTING HACKED.
