@Chris_Pendergraft which web GUI are you looking to setup, and how are you looking to deploy it? ---

Hi Lyle, the GUI for ansible/aap ![AAP](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/c/c3e1547dfd3c9d8f25d133ec8993ae6c3b225a46.jpeg) . I had it running previously before I reinstalled RH. See attachment. ---

So one way to install h RHEL is this, but there’s Docker compose, the **official Kubernetes/Minikube + Operator method** , etc. Here’s the **most direct way to get AWX running on RHEL** _without Docker_, using **Podman + systemd** , no Kubernetes, no Minikube: * * * ### 1. Install Dependencies ```bash sudo dnf install -y podman python3-pip git pip3 install ansible ansible-runner ``` * * * ### 2. Clone AWX Repo ```bash git clone https://github.com/ansible/awx.git cd awx/tools/podman ``` * * * ### 3. Build AWX Podman Image ```bash make podman-build ``` * * * ### 4. Launch AWX with Podman ```bash make podman-up ``` * * * ### 5. Access AWX - Web: [http://localhost:8043](http://localhost:8043) - Default login: * * * ### 6. Stop AWX ```bash make podman-down ``` * * * Not to be a jerk by any means, but there’s got to be tutorials out there for this. I’d ask here if you run into specific trouble. It’s super hard to walk you through start to finish without a lot of extra information. Good luck! ---

Alternatively, you can use the [developer subscription](https://developers.redhat.com/) from Red Hat to install an Ansible Automation Platform 2 environment. There is great documentation on how to do this today from a single node using the containerized installer, several nodes using the RPM installation method, or on OpenShift. - [Tested Deployment Models](https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_ansible_automation_platform/2.5/html/tested_deployment_models/index) - [Planning Your Installation](https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_ansible_automation_platform/2.5/html/planning_your_installation/index) ---

these didn’t work: # cd awx/tools/podman bash: cd: awx/tools/podman: No such file or directory # make podman-build make: \*\*\* No rule to make target ‘podman-build’. make podman-up make: \*\*\* No rule to make target ‘podman-up’. Stop. Didn’t try accessing webpage for failures. ---

Yes. The instructions do not work. There’s no hint of a “podman” directory. The “awx/tools/podman” directory seems to never have existed at all. Regardless of whether the instructions above are correct or not, getting AWX up and running may be particularly challenging right now due to the heavy refactoring Red Hat is doing. ```auto $ git log -- awx/tools/podman $ git log -- tools/podman ```
