1.) For RHEL 6 ensure your system is subscribed to EPEL. 
8
9
For RHEL 5 you will need to be subscribed to both EPEL and the RHEL Virtualization RHN Channel.
10
Also be advised, that on RHEL5 the Foreman Repo will update Ruby to version 1.8.7. This has 
11
the potential to break stuff (like passenger, notes on getting it working again below), 
12
so be sure you want to proceed before committing to the installation.

2.) Install the foreman-release.rpm for your version of RHEL or Fedora

<pre>

21

23
http://yum.theforeman.org/release/1.0/f17/foreman-release.rpm
24
</pre>
25
26
3.) Install foreman and other foreman-* packages to add functionality:
27
<pre>
28
foreman               Foreman server
29
foreman-proxy         Foreman Smart Proxy
30
foreman-cli           Foreman CLI utility
31
foreman-libvirt       libvirt provisioning support
32
foreman-ovirt         ovirt/RHEV provisioning support
33
foreman-ec2           EC2 provisioning support
34
foreman-vmware        VMware provisioning support
35
foreman-console       Console additions
36
foreman-mysql         MySQL database support
37
foreman-mysql2        MySQL database support
38
foreman-postgresql    PostgreSQL database support
39
foreman-sqlite        SQLite database support
40
foreman-test          Testing support (dependency rpm's not built yet)
41
foreman-devel         Development support (dependency rpm's not built yet)
42
</pre>
43
44
5.) Configure
45
<pre>
46
Edit /etc/foreman/settings.yaml and /etc/foreman/database.yml
47
su - foreman -s /bin/bash -c /usr/share/foreman/extras/dbmigrate
48
</pre>
49
50
6.) Start the foreman service or set up passenger
51
<pre>
52
service foreman start
53
</pre>
54
Or:
55
56
Passenger packages/repos are available at http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/
57
58
On RHEL5 the RPM's at the URL above will not run after updating ruby. Fortunately it is fairly easy to get it working again. 
59
After foreman is installed ensure /usr/sbin is in your path so that the axps binary can be found, otherwise the rpm's may 
60
fail to build while complaining about being unable to find some files. Then do the following:
61
<pre>
62
yum localinstall http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rhel/5/x86_64/rubygem-daemon_controller-0.2.5-1.noarch.rpm
63
wget http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/SRPMS/rubygem-passenger-3.0.12-1.src.rpm 
64
yum-builddep rubygem-passenger-3.0.12-1.src.rpm 
65
rpmbuild --rebuild rubygem-passenger-3.0.12-1.src.rpm
