Hi, I am new to Ansible and AWX, please provide full and clear steps to install AWX on Linux using VM preferably rpms. TIA! ---

Not currently supported in the open source version. For reasons why see [https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?source=mog&gl=us#!topic/awx-project/u8hkKuD8FWs](https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?source=mog&gl=us#!topic/awx-project/u8hkKuD8FWs) ---

Hi, for AWX there is no RPM based installation. Use the docker instruction at [https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md#docker](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md#docker)   Peter ---

Here is a cloud init script I used to throw up an AWS machine to learn the installation. You would need to double-check disk requirements, etc, but the basic steps should work. #!/bin/bash yum install -y [http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm](http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm) --enablerepo=extras yum install -y ansible vim docker git make python-pip lvm2 --enablerepo=extras yum update -y pip install docker-py pvcreate /dev/xvdf vgcreate vg\_awx /dev/xvdf lvcreate -l 100%FREE vg\_awx -n lv\_awx mkfs.ext4 /dev/vg\_awx/lv\_awx mkdir /awx mount /dev/vg\_awx/lv\_awx /awx echo ‘/dev/vg\_awx/lv\_awx /awx ext4 defaults 0 2’ \>\> /etc/fstab systemctl start docker systemctl enable docker cd /awx git clone [https://github.com/ansible/awx.git](https://github.com/ansible/awx.git) git clone [https://github.com/ansible/awx-logos.git](https://github.com/ansible/awx-logos.git) cd awx/installer sed -i ‘s/awx\_official=false/awx\_official=true/’ inventory ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml docker logs -f awx\_task ---

Looks like someone has written an rpm spec for awx. [https://github.com/subuk/awx-rpm](https://github.com/subuk/awx-rpm) ---

I have created a rpm repository and an install guide: [https://github.com/MrMEEE/awx-build/blob/master/installguide](https://github.com/MrMEEE/awx-build/blob/master/installguide)
