Chapter 2. Installing Image Builder

Before using Image Builder, you must install Image Builder in a virtual machine.

2.1. Installing Image Builder in a virtual machine

To install Image Builder on a dedicated virtual machine, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

Connect to the virtual machine.
The virtual machine for Image Builder must be installed, subscribed, and running.

Procedure

Install the Image Builder and other necessary packages on the virtual machine:
- lorax-composer
- composer-cli
- cockpit-composer
- bash-completion
```
# yum install lorax-composer composer-cli cockpit-composer bash-completion
```
The web console is installed as a dependency of the cockpit-composer package.
Enable Image Builder to start after each reboot:
```
# systemctl enable --now lorax-composer.socket
# systemctl enable cockpit.socket
```
The lorax-composer and cockpit services start automatically on first access.

Configure the system firewall to allow access to the web console:

# firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit && firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent

Load the shell configuration script so that the autocomplete feature for the composer-cli command starts working immediately without reboot:
```
$ source  /etc/bash_completion.d/composer-cli
```
