        Normally you only need to install the ncid & ncid-client rpm packages.
        The yum list command will show you the packages available:
            yum list ncid\*
        If the above does not show version 0.86:
            yum --enablerepo=rawhide list ncid\*
        If the rawhide repo is not installed:
            yum install fedora-release-rawhide
        If you need to build packages for your specific OS release:
            rpmbuild -tb ncid-0.86-src.tar.gz

    RPM based OS packages (includes Fedora, Redhat, CentOS, etc):
