Installation

Note

If you followed the Pulp installation instructions you already have RPM features installed. If not, this document will walk you through the installation.

Prerequisites

The only requirement is to meet the prerequisites of the Pulp Platform. Please see the Pulp Installation Guide for prerequisites including repository setup. Also reference that document to learn more about what each of the following components are for.

Server

If you followed the Pulp User Guide install instructions, you already have RPM support installed. If not, follow these steps.

Consider stopping Pulp. If you need Apache to keep running other web apps, or if you need Pulp to continue serving static content, it is usually sufficient to disable access to Pulp’s REST API. That will be left as an exercise for the reader. Otherwise, just stop Apache:

$ sudo apachectl stop

Next, install the package.

$ sudo yum install pulp-rpm-plugins

Then run pulp-manage-db to initialize the new types in Pulp’s database.

$ sudo pulp-manage-db

Finally, restart Apache.

$ sudo apachectl restart

Admin Client

If you followed the Pulp User Guide install instructions, you already have RPM support installed. If not, just install the following package.

$ sudo yum install pulp-rpm-admin-extensions

Consumer Client

If you followed the Pulp User Guide install instructions, you already have RPM support installed. If not, just install the following package.

$ sudo yum install pulp-rpm-consumer-extensions

Agent

If you followed the Pulp User Guide install instructions, you already have RPM support installed. If not, just install the following package.

$ sudo yum install pulp-rpm-handlers

Then restart the Pulp agent.

$ sudo service pulp-agent restart
