      To install the Fog client, I used ‘mono SmartInstaller.exe’. But for CentOS 8, the rpm’s mono are now on the repo https://extras.getpagespeed.com/redhat/8/$basearch/
      and I must pay to get them -which is not possible in my university.
      I have tried to use the command mono that comes from the package of CentOS 7, but it does not work : the messages are

      Unhandled Exception:

      Is there another solution than using mono packages ?

        Hum. I’m quite sorry, I just see the solution on the Fog wiki; it works
        (so you can add CentOS 8 in the list of Linux distros).

          Hum again. The packages that are to be installed are those of CentOS 7, and I should uninstall some packages on my CentOS 8, such as giflib and emacs, in order to install the mono packages…
          The repo download.mono-project.com_repo_centos_ does not provide packages for CentOS 8

            @adrien17 I haven’t tried mono/fog-client on CentOS 8 myself yet. Doing a little research on this I found: https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin-centos

            rpmkeys --import "http://pool.sks-keyservers.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x3fa7e0328081bff6a14da29aa6a19b38d3d831ef"
            su -c 'curl https://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos8-stable.repo | tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mono-centos8-stable.repo'
            yum install mono-complete
            

            Give it a try.

            Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

              Thanks a lot. With this method it works.
