Install Ansible Builder to create or edit execution environments

Install Ansible Builder to create custom execution environments that contain the dependencies and collections required for your automation content. You need a valid Red Hat subscription and Podman installed on your RHEL system.

Before you begin

  • You have installed the Podman container runtime.
  • You have valid subscriptions attached on the host. With a valid subscription you can 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. Note

    To install the developer tools without consuming a managed node subscription, you can use MCT4589-Red Hat Ansible Developer, Standard (10 Managed Nodes), which is available at no cost. This subscription requires the approval of the Ansible Business Unit.

Procedure

Run the following command to install Ansible Builder and activate your Ansible Automation Platform repo: 
#  dnf install --enablerepo=ansible-automation-platform-aap-version-for-rhel-rhel-version-x86_64-rpms
  ansible-builder

Replace aap-version with your Ansible Automation Platform version (for example, 2.6) and rhel-version with your Red Hat Enterprise Linux major version (for example, 9).
