Chapter 2. Installing the command-line assistant powered by RHEL Lightspeed

Before you can start using the command-line assistant powered by RHEL Lightspeed, you must install it through the official RHEL repositories. The command-line assistant is supported in the following architectures:

  • AMD and Intel 64-bit (x86_64)
  • ARM64 (aarch64)
  • IBM Z (s390x)
  • IBM POWER systems (ppc64)

To access the command-line assistant powered by RHEL Lightspeed, install it by using RHEL repositories. Do not use pip install command-line-assistant because Red Hat does not support this installation option.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  • On your RHEL system, run the following command:

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    $ sudo dnf install command-line-assistant

Verification

  • Verify that the installation works by running the command-line assistant. For example:

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    $ c "How to install python?"

    The output looks similar to the following example:

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    +*+ Asking RHEL Lightspeed

To install python....

  • Disable the color output in the command-line assistant. For example:

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
    $ c "How to install python?" NO_COLOR=1
