Hammer

What is the CLI?

The Hammer CLI provides users with a command-line interface for interacting with Katello. It’s our goal to make all functionality that’s accessible through Katello’s Web UI also available through Hammer so that users may use Hammer for their entire Katello workflow.

Installation

The first step to install the CLI is to setup the appropriate repositories: foreman, katello and epel.

Select your Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Enterprise Linux 7 (CentOS, etc.)

yum -y  --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo=rhel-7-server-rpms install yum-utils wget
yum-config-manager --disable "*"
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-7-server-rpms
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-7-server-extras-rpms

yum -y localinstall https://fedorapeople.org/groups/katello/releases/yum/3.17/katello/el7/x86_64/katello-repos-latest.rpm
