  1. At each node to be administered by Conga, install the ricci agent. For example: 
    # up2date -i ricci
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. At each node to be administered by Conga, start ricci. For example: 
    # service ricci start
Starting ricci:                                            [  OK  ]
