- cdk-minishift - Red Hat Container Development Kit 3.4.0
- docker-machine-kvm - Red Hat Container Development Kit minishift kvm driver
Chapter 2. System Requirements
The minimum system requirements for Red Hat Development Suite are:
- 8 GB RAM
- 20 GB disk space
- CPU Intel i3 2GHz Processor
The recommended system requirements for Red Hat Development Suite are:
- 16 GB RAM
- 47 GB disk space
- CPU Intel i5 2GHz or better
Chapter 3. Installing Red Hat Development Suite on macOS and Windows
3.1. Prerequisites
- Sign Up for the Red Hat Developer Program: Join the program here: Red Hat Developer Program. After signing up, you must wait approximately fifteen minutes to allow the new account information to propagate to the Red Hat Subscription Management system.
Ensure Virtualization is enabled on your machine.
If macOS: In a terminal, run the
sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.featurescommand. The result will be a string of features. If the output includesVMX, the machine has Virtualization enabled. If not enabled see your system’s documentation for instruction.If Windows: Ensure that Virtualization is enabled in your machine’s BIOS settings. If Red Hat Development Suite is run on a new system, ensure that Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS settings. This is required to run VirtualBox. See your system’s documentation for instructions to change BIOS settings.
Ensure that you are logged in as an Administrator.
NoteIf Windows, do not run Red Hat Development Suite using a non-Administrator account with the Run as Administrator option because this does not supply the required permissions.
- (Optional) Install Docker individually to use Docker for Windows: Red Hat Development Suite includes the Docker tooling, but to use the full version of Docker for Windows (Docker Machine or Boot2Docker), you must install Docker and test it before installing any Eclipse Docker tools. This is only applicable to using Docker outside of JBoss Developer Studio, such as Docker for Windows or Docker for macOS.
Ensure that Java SE 1.8.0 is installed:
If macOS: Download and install Java SE 1.8.0 Build 111 from the Oracle website: Java Download.
3.2. Downloading and Setting up Red Hat Development Suite

If Windows:
- Run the downloaded installation file.
On the Welcome window, click Next to continue.
NoteIf a newer version of the installer is available you can download the latest version of the installer from the Welcome window
On the Target Folder window, add a path to the target directory for the Red Hat Development Suite installation.
If macOS: The default path for macOS is
/Applications/DevelopmentSuite.If Windows: The default path for Windows is
%PROGRAMFILES%\DevelopmentSuite.Figure 3.1. Set the Target Directory

Chapter 4. Installing Red Hat Development Suite on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
4.1. Prequisites
Ensure that the following prerequisites are met when installing Red Hat Development Suite on Red Hat Enterprise Linux:
- Sign Up for the Red Hat Developer Program: Join the program here: Red Hat Developer Program. After signing up, you must wait approximately fifteen minutes to allow the new account information to propagate to the Red Hat Subscription Management system.
- Enable the rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms repository on Red Hat Enterprise Linux server or enable the rhel-7-workstation-devtools-rpms repository on Red Hat Enterprise Linux workstation
- Enable the rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms repository
For more information on enabling the Red Hat Developer Tools Repository, go to Section 4.2, “Enabling the Red Hat Developer Tools repository”.
4.2. Enabling the Red Hat Developer Tools repository
To enable the Red Hat Developer Tools repositories:
Run the following commands as the root user:
# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms # subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
NoteIn the above command, depending on the variant of Red Hat Enterprise Linux that you are using, server or workstation, the commands will be:
- For the workstation variant: subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-workstation-devtools-rpms
- For the server variant: subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-devtools-rpms
For developers, we recommend using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server for access to the widest range of development tools.
For more information on registering and attaching subscriptions, see Using and Configuring Red Hat Subscription Management.
To add the Red Hat Developer Tools key to your system, run the following commands as the root user:
# cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg # wget -O RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-devel https://www.redhat.com/security/data/a5787476.txt # rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-devel
4.3. Installing Red Hat Development Suite
To only install Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio, run the following command as root:

To only install Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio, run the following command as root:
# yum -y install rh-eclipse47-devstudio4.3.2. Installing Red Hat Container Development Kit
To only install Red Hat Container Development Kit, run the following command as root:
# yum -y install cdk-minishift
4.4. Next Steps After Installation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
The following links have more information on next steps:
- To setup Red Hat Container Development Kit, see Getting Started Guide.
- To start a local OpenShift cluster with Minishift, see the Minishift documentation.
To run Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio:
- Use Applications→Programming→Red Hat Eclipse 4.7 launcher
Chapter 5. Upgrading Red Hat Development Suite
There is no current path to upgrade from Red Hat Development Suite 2.2 to 2.3. To use version 2.3, uninstall Red Hat Development Suite 2.2 and then install Red Hat Development Suite 2.3.
Note the following considerations when uninstalling to upgrade to the newer version of Red Hat Development Suite:
- Only VirtualBox version 5.1.22 is supported. If a VirtualBox version older than 5.1.22 is installed, manually uninstall this component before upgrading to new version.
- Both the Online and Bundled Red Hat Development Suite installers require a manual uninstall and then a fresh installation with the new version of the installer.
Chapter 6. Troubleshooting
6.1. Overview
To troubleshoot a general installation failure, click the Details button on the Download and Install window to see the contents of the installer.log file. The installer log file is automatically created in the installation target directory. Depending on when the installation failed, the directory can contain additional log files for VirtualBox and OpenJDK.
Figure 6.1. Download and Install
6.2. Troubleshooting Miscelleaneous Errors
6.2.1. Terms and Conditions Error
Error: “Terms and Conditions for CDK have not been signed”
If your Windows user has a space in the username, the installer displays an error. This error appears on the Log In page when installing Red Hat Development Suite. The workaround for this issue is to log into Red Hat Developers Progrom and download Red Hat Container Development Kit. This triggers all the required Terms and Conditions approvals (if any are needed).
A user who wants to download and use Red Hat Container Development Kit must become a member of the Red Hat Developer Program. Sign up for the program here: Red Hat Developers Program.
6.2.2. OpenShift Console Inaccessible on Microsoft Edge Browser
The OpenShift Console web address does not work on Microsoft’s Edge Browser. This is a known issue, and the only workaround is to use a different browser to access the console.
6.2.3. Minishift conflicts
If the minishift upstream tool is added to the system path prior to installing Red Hat Container Development Kit, you may encounter the following errors:
- Loss of ~/.minishift folder content
- Installation errors
- Minishift execution errors
6.3. Reporting an Issue
If you encounter issues other than the ones listed in this section, report the issues by:
- Right click the Download and Install window (or any Red Hat Development Suite window) to go to the menu.
- From the menu list, click About Red Hat Development Suite to go the the About window.
- From the About window, click Report issues.
If macOS:
