The installation host must meet the following requirements:

• Linux x86_64.
• A minimum of 2 x CPU's and 16GB RAM.
• At least 40GB of free space in the root partition "/".
• The node must have access to deploy to the Kubernetes cluster where the Management Container and OAA/OARM will be installed. The kubectl version requirements are the same as per Configuring a Kubernetes Cluster.
• Podman 3.3.0 or later. (If podman is not an option, Docker 19.03 or later can be used).
• Helm 3.5 or later.
• Openssl.
• If your environment requires proxies to access the internet, you must set the relevant proxies in order to connect to the Oracle Container Registry. For example:

  export http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80
  export https_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:80
  export HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80
  export HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:80

  You must also make sure that no_proxy is set and includes the nodes referenced in the output under server in kubectl config view. For example if kubectl config view shows:

  kubectl config view
  apiVersion: v1
  clusters:
  - cluster:
      certificate-authority-data: DATA+OMITTED
      server: https://masternode.example.com:6443
    name: kubernetes
  contexts:
  etc...

  then set the following:

  export NO_PROXY=masternode.example.com:$NO_PROXY
  export no_proxy=masternode.example.com:$no_proxy

• You must create a working directory on this installation host. This directory will store files required for installation that will be generated in later sections of this document:

  mkdir <workdir> 

  For example:

  mkdir /workdir
