+Since version 2.0, ELOG contains a RPM file which eases the installation. Get the
+file <code><b>elog-x.x.x-x.i386.rpm</code></b> from the <a href="http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/RPMS/">download</a>
+section and execute as root <code><b>"rpm -i elog-x.x.x-x.i386.rpm"</b></code>. This will
+install the <code><b>elogd</code></b> daemon in <code><b>/usr/local/sbin</code></b>
+and the <code><b>elog</code></b> and <code><b>elconv</code></b> programs in
+<code><b>/usr/local/bin</code></b>. The sample configuration file <code><b>elogd.cfg</code></b>
+together with the sample logbook will be installed under <code><b>/usr/local/elog</code></b>
+and the documentation goes to <code><b>/usr/share/doc</code></b>. The elogd startup script
+will be installed at <code><b>/etc/rc.d/init.d/elogd</code></b>. To start the daemon, enter
+
+<ul><code>/etc/rc.d/init.d/elogd start</code></ul>
+
+It will listen under the port specified in <code><b>/usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg</b></code>
+which is 8080 by default. So one can connect using any browser with the URL:
+
+<ul><code>http://localhost:8080</code></ul>
+
+To start the daemon automatically, enter:
+<br>
+<ul>
+<code>chkconfig --add elogd</code><br>
+<code>chkconfig --level 345 elogd on</code>
+</ul>
