Installation from RPMs

Step 1: set up yum repositories

For Foreman 1.3 stable, the hammer packages are part of your installation repo and you can skip this step.

You can choose from stable or nightly repo. Nightly has more recent version of hammer packages, but it was subject to less testing so there is a higher risk of issues. Add the Foreman yum repository to your yum repo files. For Fedora installations replace 'el6' with 'f18' or 'f19' as appropriate.

Using stable

yum -y install http://yum.theforeman.org/releases/1.3/el6/x86_64/foreman-release.rpm

or nightly

cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/foreman.repo << EOF
[foreman]
name=Foreman Nightly
baseurl=http://yum.theforeman.org/nightly/el6/x86_64
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
EOF

On RHEL systems you will also have to add EPEL repository as it contains some of the required dependencies.

Step 2: install hammer core

yum install tfm-rubygem-hammer_cli

Step 3: install plugins

Currently, there are two plugins, both available as rpm packages.

  • commands for managing foreman
yum install tfm-rubygem-hammer_cli_foreman
yum install tfm-rubygem-hammer_cli_katello

To install any other hammer plugin just make sure the appropriate gem is installed and follow with the configuration.
