Installing the Connector on RHEL/Rocky Linux- Darksite Installation
In cases where the Connector needs to be installed in a Darksite (i.e. an environment without internet access, also known as airgap or offline environment) you will need to download the installation files, transfer them to the target Darksite machine, and then run the installation script.
Prerequisite Steps¶
Before you begin, see Connector System Requirement on RHEL/Rocky Linux to prepare your target machine.
1. Download and Transfer the Installation Files¶
On a virtual machine connect to the internet, download the Darksite Anyware Connector installation package as a .tar.gz file by running the following command:
curl -O https://dl.teradici.com/Beta-Download-Access-Token/cas-manager-beta/raw/names/cas-connector-offline-linux-tgz/versions/latest/cas-connector-offline_linux.tar.gz
When the .tar.gz file is downloaded, transfer it to the target Darksite machine. To transfer the file you can copy it onto a media device, such as a USB drive or a DVD, and then connect that device to the target Darksite machine. You can also connect the target Darksite machine to another machine via SSH or FTP, and complete a network file transfer. This method may not be viable for some Darksite networks.
2. Extract the Installation File¶
Extract the downloaded .tar.gz file on the target Darksite machine by running the following command:
sudo tar xzvf cas-connector-offline_Linux.tar.gz
casc-offline-deps.tar.gzinstall.sh
The install.sh file contains the installation bash script and the casc-offline-deps.tar.gz file contains the RPM dependencies and Anyware Connector images.
3. Install Anyware Connector Offline¶
To install the Anyware Connector offline, run the installation script:
cd /PATH_OF_EXTRACTED_INSTALLATION_FILES
sudo ./install.sh
Anyware Connector RPM is now installed.
4. Configure Anyware Connector¶
