Chapter 2. Red Hat Development Suite Component Details

Table 2.1 Component Details shows a list based on platforms of the Red Hat Development Suite 2.0 components along with their dependencies. On Windows, Red Hat Container Development Kit 3.1 can use either Hyper-V or VirtualBox as the hypervisor.

WindowsmacOSRed Hat Enterprise Linux

Hyper-V, VirtualBox 5.1.24

VirtualBox 5.1.24

KVM

Important

On macOS 64-bit hosts, VirtualBox works with versions 10.9 (Mavericks), 10.10 (Yosemite), and 10.11 (El Capitan). Intel hardware is required for these hosts. See VirtualBox Manual for details.

Hyper-V is available on 64-bit versions of Windows Professional, Enterprise, and Education in Windows 8 and later. It is not available on Windows Home edition. See Hyper-V Manual for details.

Red Hat Development Suite uses the PATH environment variable to detect existing installations of OpenJDK, Cygwin, VirtualBox, and Kompose. Red Hat Development Suite does not detect existing installation of Kompose. Visit Kompose for details on Kompose.

If Red Hat Development Suite detects any of the listed components, it compares the installed version against the required version and acts based on the results:

  • If the installed version matches the supported version, Red Hat Development Suite marks the component as available and correct.
  • If the installed version does not match the supported version, the installer will notify the user that an older unsupported version is installed. The user can uninstall the unsupported version without exiting the installer. Once the installer detects the supported version, the user can continue with the installation.

The minimum system requirements for Red Hat Development Suite are:

  • 8 GB RAM
  • 20 GB disk space
  • CPU Intel i3 2GHz Processor

The recommended system requirements for Red Hat Development Suite are:

4.2. Installation Prerequisites

4.2.1. General Prerequisites

The following are general prerequisites for Windows and macOS. Ensure that you refer to the Microsoft Windows or macOS specific prerequisites after the general requirements are met.

  • Sign Up for the Red Hat Developer Program: Join the program here: Red Hat Developer Program. After signing up, you must wait approximately fifteen minutes to allow the new account information to propagate to the Red Hat Subscription Management system.
  • (Optional) Install Docker individually to use Docker for Windows: Red Hat Development Suite includes the Docker tooling, but to use the full version of Docker for Windows (Docker Machine or Boot2Docker), you must install Docker and test it before installing any Eclipse Docker tools. This is only applicable to using Docker outside of JBoss Developer Studio, such as Docker for Windows or Docker for macOS.

4.2.2. Microsoft Windows Prerequisites

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met when installing Red Hat Development Suite on Microsoft Windows:

  • Ensure that Virtualization is enabled in your machine’s BIOS settings. If Red Hat Development Suite is run on a new system, ensure that Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS settings. This is required to run VirtualBox. See your system’s documentation for instructions to change BIOS settings.
  • Ensure that you are logged in as an Administrator. Red Hat Development Suite adds drivers and changes environment variables and therefore requires Administrator permissions. Do not run Red Hat Development Suite using a non-Administrator account with the Run as Administrator option because this does not supply the required permissions.

4.2.3. macOS Prerequisites

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met when installing Red Hat Development Suite on macOS :

  • Ensure that you are logged in as an Administrator. Red Hat Development Suite adds drivers and changes environment variables and therefore requires administrator permissions.
  • Ensure that Java SE 1.8.0 is installed: Download and install Java SE 1.8.0 Build 111 from the Oracle website: Java Download.

  • Ensure that Virtualization is enabled for your machine. In a terminal, run the sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features command. The result will be a string of features, for example: 

    machdep.cpu.features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM PBE SSE3 PCLMULQDQ DTES64 MON DSCPL VMX EST TM2 SSSE3 CX16 TPR PDCM SSE4.1 SSE4.2 x2APIC POPCNT AES PCID XSAVE OSXSAVE TSCTMR AVX1.0 RDRAND F16C

    If the output includes VMX, as highlighted in the example, the machine has Virtualization enabled.

4.2.4. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Prerequisites

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met when installing Red Hat Development Suite on Red Hat Enterprise Linux:

  • Enable the rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms repository on Red Hat Enterprise Linux server or enable the rhel-7-workstation-devtools-rpms repository on Red Hat Enterprise Linux workstation
  • Enable the rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms repository
Note

Red Hat Developer Tools is not supported on the Client or the ComputeNode variant.

To enable the Red Hat Developer Tools repositories:

  1. Run the following commands as the root user: 

    # subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms
# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
    Note

    In the above command, depending on the variant of Red Hat Enterprise Linux that you are using, server or workstation, the commands will be:

    • For the workstation variant: subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-workstation-devtools-rpms
    • For the server variant: subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms

    For developers, we recommend using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server for access to the widest range of development tools.

    For more information on registering and attaching subscriptions, see Using and Configuring Red Hat Subscription Management.

  2. To add the Red Hat Developer Tools key to your system, run the following commands as the root user: 

    # cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg
# wget -O RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-devel https://www.redhat.com/security/data/a5787476.txt

Chapter 5. Upgrading Red Hat Development Suite

There is no current path to upgrade from Red Hat Development Suite 1.4 to 2.0. To use version 2.0, uninstall Red Hat Development Suite 1.4 and then install Red Hat Development Suite 2.0.

Note the following considerations when uninstalling to upgrade to the newer version of Red Hat Development Suite:

  • Only VirtualBox version 5.1.22 is supported. If a VirtualBox version older than 5.1.22 is installed, manually uninstall this component before upgrading to new version.
  • Both the Online and Bundled Red Hat Development Suite installers require a manual uninstall and then a fresh installation with the new version of the installer.

Chapter 6. Troubleshooting

To troubleshoot a general installation failure, see the contents of the installer.log file. The installer log file is automatically created in the installation target directory. Depending on when the installation failed, the directory can contain additional log files for VirtualBox and OpenJDK.

6.1. Terms and Conditions Error

Error: “Terms and Conditions for CDK have not been signed”

This error appears on the Log In page when installing Red Hat Development Suite. The workaround for this issue is to log into Red Hat Developers Progrom and download Red Hat Container Development Kit. This triggers all the required Terms and Conditions approvals (if any are needed).

A user who wants to download and use Red Hat Container Development Kit must become a member of the Red Hat Developer Program. Sign up for the program here: Red Hat Developers Program.

6.2. OpenShift Console Inaccessible on Microsoft Edge Browser

The OpenShift Console web address does not work on Microsoft’s Edge Browser. This is a known issue, and the only workaround is to use a different browser to access the console.

6.3. Reporting an Issue

If you encounter issues other than the ones listed in this section, log an issue at JBoss Developer under the platform-installer component in the Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio) project.

Chapter 7. Uninstalling Red Hat Development Suite

7.1. Uninstalling Red Hat Development Suite on Microsoft Windows

7.1.1. Uninstalling using Powershell

On Microsoft Windows, Red Hat Development Suite includes a Powershell-based uninstaller in the product’s installation directory (${target-folder}/uninstaller/uninstall.ps1).

Note

Installing Red Hat Development Suite creates an Uninstall Developer Studio option in Microsoft Windows. This uninstaller only removes JBoss Developer Studio, and not any additional components installed for Red Hat Development Suite. Use the following instructions to completely remove all Red Hat Development Suite components from your machine.

The uninstall script removes everything installed into the installation target directory. As a result, previously installed components detected during the installation are not affected.

The uninstaller runs corresponding MSI uninstallers for VirtualBox and OpenJDK. It also cleans up the PATH variables and removes the ${target-folder} folder.

To uninstall Red Hat Development Suite, run the script in one of two ways:

  1. Use the command prompt (cmd) to run the file.

    1. Use the Powershell with the following command: 

      powershell -ExecutionPolicy bypass -File ${target-folder}\uninstaller\uninstall.ps1
      Note

      Do not run the uninstall script from within ${target-folder} or run the ps1 file from the context menu. This results in locking the ${target-folder}\uninstaller folder and the PowerShell script is not removed after the uninstall process completes.

  2. Use the Run with Powershell menu item:

    1. Navigate to: 

      ${target-folder}\uninstaller\uninstall.ps1
    2. Highlight uninstall.ps1 and Right-Click
    3. Select 'Run with Powershell'

7.1.2. Uninstalling from Control panel

To uninstall Red Hat Development Suite from the Control Panel:

  1. Right-click the Start button and click Control Panel
  2. Click Program.
  3. Click Programs and Features.

7.1.3. Uninstalling from Settings

To uninstall Red Hat Development Suite from the Settings menu:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Click System to show a list of the system settings.
  3. Click Apps & Features from the left pane to show a list of features and applications.
  4. Click Red Hat Development Suite.
  5. Click Uninstall to uninstall Red Hat Development Suite.
  6. Click Uninstall button to confirm.

7.2. Uninstalling Red Hat Development Suite on macOS
