Hey,

I just want to share my experience on how to install Activate on CentOS7

After installing Activate from the .bin-file you need to run some commands to install some missing shared object files (.so).

1. Install missing libXss.so

sudo yum install -y libXScrnSaver1

2. Install missing LibGLU.so.1

sudo yum install mesa-libGLU-devel.x86_64

Activate will startup now (hopefully for you aswell)  but you still need the gcc-compiler for compiling your models:

sudo yum install gcc

Activate should work now.

Best Regards

Nils
