Prerequisites¶

gdeploy requires the following packages:

Follow instructions in the Ansible documentation on how to install Ansible, which can be found here.

gdeploy can be installed using pre-built RPM or can be installed from source.

Latest version of gdeploy RPMs can be downloaded from here and installed

Using yum:
$ sudo yum install ./gdeploy-<version>-<release>.rpm

Using dnf:
$ sudo dnf install ./gdeploy-<version>-<release>.rpm

Alternatively gdeploy can be installed from source

$ git clone git@github.com:gluster/gdeploy.git
$ cd gdeploy

Make sure you have gcc and python-devel installed

$ sudo yum install gcc python-devel redhat-rpm-config
$ sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Setup gdeploy

Run the gdeploy_setup.sh file from the root directory of gdeploy

$ cd gdeploy
$ sudo ./gdeploy_setup.sh

OR Setup manually as follows

Add ansible modules to ANSIBLE_LIBRARY environment variable

$ echo "export ANSIBLE_LIBRARY=$ANSIBLE_LIBRARY:path/to/gdeploy/modules/" >> ~/.bashrc

‘path/to’ will be replaced by the path on your system on which gdeploy is installed.

Add ansible playbooks(inside the templates directory) to GDEPLOY_TEMPLATES environment variable
```
$ echo "export GDEPLOY_TEMPLATES='path/to/gdeploy'" >> ~/.bashrc
```

‘path/to’ will be replaced by the path on your system on which gdeploy is installed.

$ source ~/.bashrc
