Installation

Prerequisites

Currently Kayobe supports the following Operating Systems:

• CentOS 7.3

To avoid conflicts with python packages installed by the system package manager it is recommended to install Kayobe in a virtualenv. Ensure that the virtualenv python module is available on the control host. For example, on CentOS:

$ yum install -y python-virtualenv

It is necessary to install the GCC compiler chain in order to build the extensions of some of kayobe's python dependencies. On CentOS:

$ yum install -y gcc

Finally, for cloning and working with the kayobe source code repository, Git is required. On CentOS:

$ yum install -y git
