[Katello] instructions for Capsule install

Support
1

Hi all,
i am testing katello on my local VMs and
I have been trying to install capsule for the Foreman (katello server).

I get to this step:

To finish the installation, follow these steps:

If you do not have the smartproxy registered to the Katello instance,
then please do the following:

  1. yum -y localinstall
    http://lionheart-server.com/pub/katello-ca-consumer-latest.noarch.rpm
  2. subscription-manager register --org "Default_Organization"

Once this is completed run the steps below to start the smartproxy
installation:

  1. Ensure that the foreman-installer-katello package is installed on the
    system.
  2. Copy cap-certs-n.tar to the system lionheart-cap.com
  3. Run the following commands on the capsule (possibly with the customized
    parameters, see foreman-installer --scenario capsule --help and
    documentation for more info on setting up additional services):

foreman-installer --scenario capsule
–capsule-parent-fqdn
"lionheart-server.com"
–foreman-proxy-register-in-foreman "true"
–foreman-proxy-foreman-base-url
"https://lionheart-server.com"
–foreman-proxy-trusted-hosts
"lionheart-server.com"
–foreman-proxy-trusted-hosts
"lionheart-cap.com"
–foreman-proxy-oauth-consumer-key
"KH2nbu2zsBzkVbXhN64q8WzNGHsVF2cm"
–foreman-proxy-oauth-consumer-secret
"nmt2o6pvbtTkaWmFYvh88BbswdxkL6bE"
–capsule-pulp-oauth-secret
"RuEH2Nsaj2znbaz8qwvXsAKKGLNaZNRn"
–capsule-certs-tar
"cap-certs-n.tar"
The full log is at /var/log/capsule-certs-generate.log

i am stuck at step 1 where it says "ensure the foreman-installer-katello
package is installed on the system".
i tried getting the katello-installer from github but if check the code it
says "we use foreman-installer".

can someone help me with this?

Rockwell,

You will need to set up the repos detailed on www.katello.org. Navigate to
the Documentation for your version and go to the Capsule installation
instructions, there should be a link to "list of required repositories".
Once you set them up, you can 'yum install -y foreman-installer-katello'

Let me know if you have any questions.

Just do a

yum install foreman-installer-katello

after making sure you've added the repos. I believe
foreman-installer-katello is a RPM metapackage which provides a bunch more
stuff.
