Chapter 7. Choosing and obtaining a Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform installer
Choose the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform installer you need based on your Red Hat Enterprise Linux environment internet connectivity. Review the following scenarios to decide which Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform installer meets your needs.
7.1. Installing with internet access
Choose the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform installer if your Red Hat Enterprise Linux environment is connected to the internet. Installing with internet access retrieves the latest required repositories, packages, and dependencies. Choose one of the following ways to set up your Ansible Automation Platform installer.
Tarball install
- Navigate to the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform download page.
- Click for the Ansible Automation Platform <latest-version> Setup.
Extract the files:
$ tar xvzf ansible-automation-platform-setup-<latest-version>.tar.gz
RPM install
Install Ansible Automation Platform Installer Package
v.2.5 for RHEL 8 for x86_64
$ sudo dnf install --enablerepo=ansible-automation-platform-2.5-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms ansible-automation-platform-installer
v.2.5 for RHEL 9 for x86_64
$ sudo dnf install --enablerepo=ansible-automation-platform-2.5-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms ansible-automation-platform-installer
dnf install enables the repo as the repo is disabled by default.
When you use the RPM installer, the files are placed under the /opt/ansible-automation-platform/installer directory.
7.2. Installing without internet access
Use the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Bundle installer if you are unable to access the internet, or would prefer not to install separate components and dependencies from online repositories. Access to Red Hat Enterprise Linux repositories is still needed. All other dependencies are included in the tar archive.
Procedure
- Go to the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform download page.
- Click for the Ansible Automation Platform <latest-version> Setup Bundle.
Extract the files:
$ tar xvzf ansible-automation-platform-setup-bundle-<latest-version>.tar.gz
