Zato installation on RHEL and compatible

Requirements

• RHEL and compatible, v. 8.x or 9.x
• Root access
• Make sure you have Python 3.8 or newer - RHEL 8.x may ship with Python 3.6. Ensure that the output from the python3 command is Python 3.8 or newer. For instance:

  python3
  Python 3.8.8 (default, Aug 11 2021, 06:52:42)
  [GCC 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-3)] on linux
  

• E.g. if you have Python 3.6, to change it to 3.8, run these commands as root:

  yum install python38 python38-devel -y
  alternatives --set python3 /usr/bin/python3.8
  

Installation steps

• Log in as root:

sudo su -

• Install helper programs:

yum update -y
yum install patch -y
yum upgrade --refresh rpm glibc -y

• Install Zato:

# For RHEL 8
yum install -y https://zato.io/repo/stable/3.2/rhel/zato-3.2-rhel8.rpm

# For RHEL 9
yum install -y https://zato.io/repo/stable/3.2/rhel/zato-3.2-rhel9.rpm

• Install the latest updates (as user zato):

su - zato
cd ~/current && git config core.filemode false && git pull && ./update.sh

• Confirm the installation (still as user zato):

zato --version
# E.g. Zato 3.2+rev.4a6100b-py3.9.14-rhel.9.1-plow

That concludes the process - you can refer to the main documentation index now.
