h1. RPM's distribution based installation
We maintain a repository for RHEL and Fedora (and clones) - you may add it via:
h2. Stable
h3. Puppet
<pre>
yumrepo { 'foreman':
descr => 'Foreman Repo',
baseurl => 'http://yum.theforeman.org/stable',
gpgcheck => '0',
enabled => '1'
}
</pre>
h3. Quick and dirty
<pre>
cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/foreman.repo << EOF
[foreman]
name=Foreman Repo
baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/stable
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
EOF
</pre>
<pre>
yum install foreman
</pre>
h2. Development
1.) For RHEL 6 ensure your system is subscribed to EPEL. For RHEL 5 you will need to be subscribed to both EPEL and the RHEL Virtualization RHN Channel EPEL:
<pre>
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
</pre>
2.) Install the foreman-release.rpm for your version of RHEL or Fedora
<pre>
http://yum.theforeman.org/development/el5/foreman-release.rpm
http://yum.theforeman.org/development/el6/foreman-release.rpm
http://yum.theforeman.org/development/f16/foreman-release.rpm
http://yum.theforeman.org/development/f17/foreman-release.rpm
</pre>
3.) Install foreman and other foreman-* packages to add functionality:
<pre>
foreman Foreman server
foreman-proxy Foreman Smart Proxy
foreman-cli Foreman CLI utility
foreman-libvirt libvirt provisioning support
foreman-ovirt ovirt/RHEV provisioning support
foreman-ec2 EC2 provisioning support
foreman-vmware VMware provisioning support
foreman-console Console additions
foreman-mysql MySQL database support
foreman-mysql2 MySQL database support
foreman-postgresql PostgreSQL database support
foreman-sqlite SQLite database support
foreman-test Testing support (dependency rpm's not built yet)
foreman-devel Development support (dependency rpm's not built yet)
</pre>
5.) Configure
<pre>
Edit /etc/foreman/settings.yaml and /etc/foreman/database.yml
su - foreman -s /bin/bash -c /usr/share/foreman/extras/dbmigrate
</pre>
6.) Start the foreman service or set up passenger
<pre>
service foreman start
(passenger packages/repos available at http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/)
</pre>
Example RHEL6 setup:
<pre>
yum install http://mirror.symnds.com/distributions/fedora-epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm
yum install http://yum.theforeman.org/development/el6/foreman-release.rpm
yum install foreman foreman-proxy foreman-ovirt foreman-sqlite foreman-ec2 foreman-console foreman-cli foreman-libvirt foreman-mysql foreman-vmware
vi /etc/settings/settings.yaml /etc/settings/database.yml
su - foreman -s /bin/bash -c /usr/share/foreman/extras/dbmigrate
</pre>
