You can install Ansible Builder using Red Hat Subscription Management (RHSM) to attach your Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform subscription. Attaching your Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform subscription allows you to access subscription-only resources necessary to install ansible-builder. Once you attach your subscription, the necessary repository for ansible-builder is automatically enabled.

Note

You must have valid subscriptions attached on the host before installing ansible-builder.

Procedure

  • In your terminal, run the following command to install Ansible Builder and activate your Ansible Automation Platform repo: 

    # dnf install --enablerepo ansible-automation-platform-2.3-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms ansible-builder
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can install Automation content navigator on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) from an RPM.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed RHEL 8 or later.
  • You registered your system with Red Hat Subscription Manager.
Note

Ensure that you only install the navigator matching your current Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform environment.

    $ subscription-manager attach --pool=<sku-pool-id>

  2. Install Automation content navigator with the following command:
