8 Installing vFabric Web Server
• Install the vFabric repository RPM, which makes it easier for you to browse the vFabric RPMs, including the vFabric Web
Server RPM. The vFabric repository contains all RPMs that are certified with this release of vFabric Suite. You install the
vFabric repository RPM on each RHEL computer on which you want to install one or more vFabric components, such as
vFabric Web Server.
1. On the RHEL computer, start a terminal as the root user.
2. Install the vFabric repository RPM using the following wget command, passing it the appropriate URL. The URL differs
depending on the version of RHEL you are using.
Important: You must run the entire wget command on a single line. Be sure you include the | sh at the end, or the
RPM installation will not work.
For RHEL 5:
prompt# wget -q -O - http://repo.vmware.com/pub/rhel5/vfabric/5.2/vfabric-5.2-suite-installer | sh
For RHEL 6:
prompt# wget -q -O - http://repo.vmware.com/pub/rhel6/vfabric/5.2/vfabric-5.2-suite-installer | sh
The command performs the following tasks:
• Imports the vFabric GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) key.
• Installs the vFabric 5.2 repository RPM.
• Launches the VMware End User License Agreement (EULA) acceptance and repository configuration script.
• Outputs the EULA for you to read; you must answer yes to accept the terms and continue.
3. Use the yum search vfabric or yum search vmware command to view the list of vFabric components that you
can install from the VMware repository. For example (output truncated for clarity):
prompt# yum search vfabric
...
======================================== Matched: vfabric ========================================
vfabric-rabbitmq-java-client-bin.noarch : The RabbitMQ Java Client Library
vfabric-rabbitmq-server.x86_64 : The RabbitMQ server
vfabric-tc-server-standard.noarch : VMware vFabric tc Server Standard
vfabric-web-server.x86_64 : VMware vFabric Web Server
...
The vFabric Web Server RPM is called vfabric-web-server.
Procedure
1. From the RHEL computer on which you will install vFabric Web Server, log in as the root user and start a terminal.
2. Execute the following yum command:
prompt# yum install vfabric-web-server
The yum command begins the install process, resolves dependencies, and displays the packages it will install.
The yum command automatically chooses the appropriate RPM package based on your architecture (32- or 64-bit).
To install the developer's package:
prompt# yum install vfabric-web-server-devel
