Chapter 5. Setting up your development environment

You can follow the procedures in this section to set up your development environment to create automation execution environments.

5.1. Installing Ansible Builder

Prerequisites

You have installed the Podman container runtime.
You have valid subscriptions attached on the host. Doing so allows you to access the subscription-only resources needed to install ansible-builder, and ensures that the necessary repository for ansible-builder is automatically enabled. See Attaching your Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform subscription for more information.

Procedure

In your terminal, run the following command to activate your Ansible Automation Platform repo:

#  dnf install --enablerepo=ansible-automation-platform-2.4-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms ansible-builder

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

Prerequisites

Note

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

Procedure

Attach the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform SKU:
```
$ subscription-manager attach --pool=<sku-pool-id>
```

Install automation content navigator with the following command:

v.2.4 for RHEL 8 for x86_64

$ sudo dnf install --enablerepo=ansible-automation-platform-2.4-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms ansible-navigator

v.2.4 for RHEL 9 for x86-64

$ sudo dnf install --enablerepo=ansible-automation-platform-2.4-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms ansible-navigator

Verification

Verify your automation content navigator installation:
```
$ ansible-navigator --help
```

The following example demonstrates a successful installation:

Base images that ship with Ansible Automation Platform 2.0 are hosted on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog (registry.redhat.io).

Prerequisites

Procedure

Pull the base images from the registry

$ podman pull registry.redhat.io/aap/<image name>
