Offline Installation

The following set of instructions explain how to perform an offline install of Automation Gateway. Use this process when the system is disconnected from the Internet.

More information can be found at the PIP Download reference guide.

Prepare Distribution

1. From a VM with internet access of the same OS and Python version (reminder: Automation Gateway requires Python 3) as a target customer system:

   # mkdir dist
   # cd dist
   # pip -v download --extra-index-url https://registry.aws.itential.com/repository/automation-gateway/simple automation-gateway

   Note: There are options on the 'pip download' command where you can specify "--platform", "--python-version", "–implementation", and "–abi" to choose a different platform than the one you are on. See the following reference guide for more information.

2. Notice that multiple .whl files are downloaded (these are all the prerequisites needed by Automation Gateway).

   [root@centos-7 d]# ls

On the Customer's POC Machine

1. Transfer the tar file (ansible_mgr-dist.tar.gz) to the machine.

2. Verify the OS and Python versions match what you choose previously in the first step above.

   # mkdir tmp
   # cd tmp
   # tar -zxvf ansible_mgr-dist.tar.gz

3. Run the pip command to install all the .whl and .tar.gz files.

   pip install *

4. Process complete.
