Hi Team,

I tried to install AWX in MAC (MACOS Monterey Version 12.5) through following two ways:

1. Using docker-compose: Here, after following the all steps, but not able to find install.yml (in awx directory). Even there is no /awx/installer folder in the same. There is inventory inside the awx/tools/docker-compose. But since there is no install.yml (so installation didn’t get completed)

2. Using Minikube: Here while running the command **brew install hyper kit,** I got the below errors:

When you say you are installing on the mac you are attempting to install the docker version of AWX?  
What steps did you take and what errors are you seeing?

As for the second error, it’s saying that you need to install Xcode from the App Store to get the required bits.  
That aside, it looks like you are trying to install hyper kit but you should only need “brew install minikube” to get minikube.

Are there instructions you are following for these installation methods?

For item 1, it looks like that article is talking about an older version of AWX. They mention that in the top with a reference to the AWX doc [https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/INSTALL.md) in there are links to the docker installation.  
For item 2, that looks like it should work with the exception of they were installing operator version 0.18.0 and the latest is now 0.28.0. Try install xcode from the app store to get past that error you were facing.

Hi team,

I tried another steps (without hyper kit) using the link: [https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator)  
But here, I got the following error on running certain command:  
Command: **minikube kubectl – logs -f deployments/awx-operator-controller-manager -c awx-manager**

Error from server (NotFound): deployments.apps “awx-operator-controller-manager” not found

Also for your information, this is the last command I tried and it was working fine till this:

Command: minikube kubectl – get pods -n $NAMESPACE

NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE

awx-operator-controller-manager-7b4dbff7c8-pzmjb 2/2 Running 4 (47m ago) 54m

But after this only, I am getting the error when I am going to check for logs
