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 RHEL6 ensure your system is subscribed EPEL: 
 <pre> 
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL 
 </pre> 

 2.) Copy the appropriate repo file to /etc/yum.repos.d 
 <pre> 
 http://yum.theforeman.org/development/el6/foreman.repo 
 http://yum.theforeman.org/development/f16/foreman.repo 
 http://yum.theforeman.org/development/f17/foreman.repo 
 </pre> 

 3.) install foreman and other foreman-* packages to add functionality: 
 <pre> 
 foreman - foreman server 
 foreman-libvirt - libvirt provisioning support 
 foreman-ovirt - libvirt provisioning support 
 foreman-fog - Cloud provisioning support (AWS, Rackspace, Linode, Blue Box, StormOnDemand, and many others) 
 foreman-vmware - VMware provisioning support 
 foreman-mysql - MySQL database support 
 foreman-mysql2 - MySQL database support 
 foreman-postgresql - PostgreSQL database support 
 foreman-sqlite - SQLite database support 
 foreman-console - Console additions 
 foreman-proxy - Foreman Smart Proxy 
 foreman-test (dependency rpm's not built yet) 
 foreman-devel (dependency rpm's not built yet) 
 </pre> 

 5.) Configure 
 <pre> 
 Edit /etc/foreman/settings.yaml and /etc/foreman/database.yml 
 cd /usr/share/foreman; RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate 
 chown foreman:foreman db/production.sqlite3 #(if using sqlite) 
 </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 
 wget http://yum.theforeman.org/development/el6/foreman.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/foreman.repo 
 yum install foreman foreman-proxy foreman-ovirt foreman-mysql foreman-fog foreman-console 
 vi /etc/settings/settings.yaml /etc/settings/database.yml 
 cd /usr/share/foreman; RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate 
 </pre>
