Don't put the version number in the title. Perhaps opDepends - NMIS Dependency Installer

Do we want this doc in opCommon, not NMIS? 

Overview

Welcome to the documentation for opDependsNMIS_Deps-12.0, a dependency installer designed for RHEL 9. This tool is specifically engineered to operate in air-gapped environments with zero internet connectivity, ensuring seamless installation of RPM packages and Perl modules from source without relying on external repositories or mirrors. It will ensure all dependencies for NMIS and the NMIS Professional Modules are correctly installed.

Features

  • Offline Installation — Installs RPM packages and Perl modules entirely offline, making it ideal for secure or isolated environments.
  • Automatic Installation — Facilitates the easy installation of dependencies from source.
  • Self-Cleaning — Automatically cleans up after the installation process, maintaining a tidy system.
  • Repository-Free — Operates without the need for any online repositories or mirrors.

Prerequisites

  • Operating System: RHEL 9
  • The Rhel 9 system must be a Server installation, Server installation with GUI, Workstation installation, or Minimal install w/Rhel 9 Standard system and RPM development packages selected.
  • Privileges: Root access is required to run opDependsNMIS_Deps-12.0.
  • The opDepends NMIS_Deps self extracting run file in the air-gapped environment.

Installation Instructions

  1. First, download the latest  opDepends-1.0 packagelatest NMIS_Deps package, available here: XYZ: https://dl-omk.opmantek.com/NMIS_Deps-2.0.1.run
  2. Bring it into your Airair-Gapped gapped environment however you wish
  3. Execute the package:  use sh and then you don't have to mess around making it executable.

Usage Notes

sudo Requirement: opDependsNMIS_Deps-12.0 must be run with sudo privileges. If you attempt to run it without sudo, the installation will terminate with an error message.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please consider the following steps:

  1. Check Permissions: Ensure you are running the command with sudo.
  2. Verify Download: Make sure the opDepends-1.0 package NMIS_Deps package is fully downloaded and not corrupted.
  3. Log Files: Review the log output generated by opDepends-1.0 NMIS_Deps in /var/log/opdependsoffline_out.loginstaller.log

The Minimal install of RHEL 9 has shown that it can make the Dependancy installer unstable and potentially fail to resolve dependancy chains.

If you intend on using the minimal installation of rhel 9, please ensure that the RHEL 9 Standard system packages and RPM development packages are selected for the best results.
