Chapter 2. Installing the JBoss EAP collection

Prerequisites

• You have installed the ansible-core package version 2.14 or later on a control node in your system by installing Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.x.

  For more information about installing Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, see the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform Installation Guide.

• You have updated the ansible.cfg file to use Ansible automation hub as your primary source of Ansible collections. For more information about updating the ansible.cfg file, see Getting started with automation hub.

Procedure

• On your Ansible control node, enter the following command:

  $ ansible-galaxy collection install redhat.eap

  Note

  If the preceding command produces a Failed to find collection redhat.eap:* error message, ensure that you have updated the ansible.cfg file correctly to use Ansible automation hub, as described in Getting started with automation hub.

  The preceding command produces the following output:

  Starting galaxy collection install process
  
  Process install dependency map
  
  Starting collection install process
  
  ...
  
  redhat.eap:<version> was installed successfully
  
  ...
  
  redhat.runtimes_common:<version> was installed successfully
  
  ...
  
  ansible.posix:<version> was installed successfully

  For the sake of brevity, the preceding example uses ellipses to denote omitted text. In the preceding output, <version> represents the latest available versions of the installed redhat.eap, redhat.runtimes_common, and ansible.posix collections.

Verification

• On your Ansible control node, enter the following command:

  $ ansible-galaxy collection list

  The preceding command displays the list of installed collections. For example:

  Collection                 Version
  -------------------------- -------
  ansible.posix              <version>
  redhat.eap                 <version>
  redhat.runtimes_common     <version>
  ...
