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
    # rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-devel

4.3. Installing Red Hat Development Suite

4.3.1. Installing Red Hat Development Suite on Microsoft Windows and macOS

To install Red Hat Development Suite:

  1. Log in and download Red Hat Development Suite from the Red Hat Developers Portal product download page at Red Hat Developers Download. Please note that macOS installers need to be unzipped before the next step. If using the Safari browser to download, the macOS installer is automatically unzipped.

    Set the Target Directory

    If your Windows user has a space in the username, for example, Example User, the installer displays an error. See Section 6.1, “Terms and Conditions Error” for troubleshooting information for this error.

  6. The Confirmation screen lists the components that Red Hat Development Suite downloads and installs. Red Hat Development Suite detects components based on the PATH environment variable. If none of the components are installed, no changes are required. If an older version of a component is detected, the user can uninstall the older version of the component without exiting the installer. Red Hat Development Suite detects when the older version of the component is uninstalled.

    All components are already selected by default in the Confirmation screen except for Red Hat JBoss Fuse Tooling, Red Hat JBoss Fuse on JBoss EAP, Red Hat JBoss Fuse on Apache Karaf, and Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.

    Right-click the Confirmation screen to open the context menu.
