Hello, I am attempting to install GFE on fedora 21 and I seem to have issues installing the RPM's. It says RPM cannot be installed. I was wondering if I even need to install the RPMs
The rpms are a convenience for those who don't want to locate all the build dependencies and install from source. They are certainly not a requirement. The rpms that are available for download only go back to like fedora 26. So, they will not install on fedora 21.
Your best bet is to use a more recent version of fedora (if possible) with the gfe.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

I thank you for the response! Also, could I just ignore this error?
Edit: I got it to load but I get a server error when launching the GFE program. Any fixes?
Update: GFE crashes due to unable to load font. Any fix.
I finally got it to load! Looks good!
This runs really well! No problems at all! Here is another screenie.

One more question...How would I got about changing the site from BOU to OKX?
The site used to configure the gfe is in the file etc/gfe/BASE/siteConfig.py. It is the variable GFESUITE_SITEID. You can change it there.
You can also specify it when the install is done by using the site paramater like so:
make install prefix=/your/directory/for/install site=OKX
