The required RPMs should already be installed on any machine already bootstrapped in the Genome environment. This is useful for the --config-only mode. If you want to install Genome machines in a virtualized environment you will need to setup a Cloud Appliance . That machine comes with genome-bootstrap already installed.
If you are installing genome-bootstrap on a separate machine, like a laptop, you can easily add the Genome yum repositories and install genome-bootstrap on any machine you like. Run the following commands to create the Genome yum repository file:
# Switch to root su - echo """ [genome-noarch] name=Genome (noarch) baseurl=http://brenton.fedorapeople.org/genome/yum/Fedora-9-genome-noarch enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 [genome-i386] name=Genome (i386) baseurl=http://brenton.fedorapeople.org/genome/yum/Fedora-9-genome-i386 enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 """ > /etc/yum.repos.d/genome.repo # Install genome-bootstrap yum install rubygem-genome-bootstrap
Should you need to install genome-bootstrap manually, yum can be configured to point to the Cobbler server running on your Genome Repo. Once yum is properly setup you can run:
# yum install rubygem-genome-bootstrap
