2.3.1. Installing and upgrading on Linux: Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux

These packages have been tested on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, 8 and 9, and compatible systems such as CentOS, Oracle Linux, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux.

To install Radiator SIM Module:

Download the distribution package for your operating system from Radiator downloads
Install the package. On RHEL 7 and compatible systems use package that ends with el7.noarch.rpm:
```
sudo yum install ./radiator-sim-x.yy-nn.el7.noarch.rpm
```
On RHEL 8 and compatible systems use package that ends with el8.noarch.rpm:
```
sudo yum install ./radiator-sim-x.yy-nn.el8.noarch.rpm
```
On RHEL 9 and compatible systems use package that ends with el9.noarch.rpm:
```
sudo yum install ./radiator-sim-x.yy-nn.el9.noarch.rpm
```
Build a Radiator configuration file based on one of the following configuration files:
- /opt/radiator/radiator-sim/goodies/eap_sim_wx.cfg
- /opt/radiator/radiator-sim/goodies/eap_aka_wx.cfg
- /opt/radiator/radiator-sim/goodies/eap_sim_map.cfg
- /opt/radiator/radiator-sim/goodies/eap_aka_map.cfg
Configure Radiator HSS emulator file (/opt/radiator/radiator-sim/goodies/wxmap.cfg), or connect to the HSS over SWx, Cx or Wx, or connect to the HLR over SIGTRAN.
Run Radiator with the configuration file developed in the step 3.
