This can be found on the Software Downloads page of the Nanopore Community. Unpack the archive: ``` tar -xf ont-guppy_xxx_linux<64 or aarch64>.tar.gz ``` Note: 'xxx' in the command denotes the version number e.g. 3.0.3. ## Use this installation process if you are installing from .rpm: Download the .rpm file. This can be found on the Software Downloads page of the Nanopore Community. Install the epel-release repository: ``` yum install epel-release ``` If using Centos 8, it will also be necessary to enable the powertools repository. Depending on the version of Centos 8 you have, the name of the repository may be slightly different: ``` yum install dnf-plugins-core yum config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools || yum config-manager --set-enabled powertools ``` Install the rpm: ``` yum install <path>/<to>/ont-guppy_xxx.rpm ``` __The GPU-enabled ont-guppy package will not install a GPU driver by default – it will be necessary to handle installing this yourself, e.g. by visiting [NVIDIA's website](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx). Guppy requires an NVIDIA driver of at least version 455.__
