This automation assumes the following conditions have been met.

• The following software dependencies have been installed:

There are a handful of tools that you'll need to be able to effectively work with this repository. Please make sure you have the following tools installed. Any commands provided are for linux systems.

• Python 3+ Installed
• pip and setuptools Installed
• git Installed
• Ansible Installed

NOTE: Ansible will need python 3 in order to use the required modules and libraries, so it is recommended that you use the following command to install Ansible:

$ pip3 install ansible

You can then confirm which python version is being used by running:

$ ansible --version | grep "python version"

Example output:

python version = 3.6.8 (default, Mar 18 2021, 08:58:41) [GCC 8.4.1 20200928 (Red Hat 8.4.1-1)]

The utilities in the list below are also required, but can be installed automatically by executing the Ansible playbook listed below, once Ansible is installed.

• OpenShift CLI Installed
• Python Modules:
  • setuptools
  • kubernetes
  • openshift
  • boto3

They can be automatically installed by running the following command:

$ ansible-playbook install-ocp-prerequisites.yaml --ask-become-pass

Notes:

Arguments

--ask-become-pass This will prompt for your root password, so required python libraries can be installed.

You can force the OpenShift binaries to update (if you already have oc on your system), by using the following command:

$ ansible-playbook install-ocp-prerequisites.yaml --ask-become-pass -e force_update=true

Notes:

Arguments

force_update This will tell Ansible to delete the existing oc binaries, forcing new versions to be installed.
