3.2.3. Installation

The required RPMs should already be installed on all Genome appliances. Genome environment. This is useful when registering a machine that already has an OS with the Genome Appliance. 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
