Using WebDAV with FUSE. If you do not have a GNOME desktop environment or want
to be able to use eXist via WebDAV from non-GNOME applications, then another
option is to use FUSE and davfs2 together. FUSE is typically installed already in most
modern Linux distributions.
You can install davfs2 in Debian-based distributions (e.g., Ubuntu and Mint) by run‐
ning the following from a terminal:
sudo apt-get install davfs2
Likewise, you can install davfs2 in distributions with RPM package managers (e.g.,
RHEL, CentOS, SLES and openSUSE) via RPMForge by running the following from
a terminal:
sudo rpm -Uhv
http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/
rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install fuse-davfs2
The RPMForge release used here is for RHEL/CentOS 6 x64; you
can find details of the correct RPMForge for your distribution at
http://repoforge.org/use/ .
Once you have davfs2 installed, you can mount the eXist WebDAV folder (as shown
in Figure 13-14 ):
