Preparing the test machine

To prepare the control machine for installing KUMA:

1. Ensure that hardware, software, and installation requirements of the application are met.
2. Generate an SSH key for authentication on the SSH servers of the target machines:

   sudo ssh-keygen -f /root/.ssh/id_rsa -N "" -C kuma-ansible-installer

   If SSH root access is blocked on the control machine, generate an SSH key for authentication on the SSH servers of the target machines for a user from the sudo group:

   If the user that you want to use does not have sudo rights, add the user to the sudo group:

   usermod -aG sudo user

   ssh-keygen -f /home/<name of the user from the sudo group>/.ssh/id_rsa -N "" -C kuma-ansible-installer

   As a result, the key is generated and saved in the user's home directory. To make the key available during installation, you must specify the full path to the key in the inventory file, in the ansible_ssh_private_key_file setting.

3. Make sure that the control machine has network access to all the target machines by host name and copy the SSH key to each target machine:

   sudo ssh-copy-id -i /root/.ssh/id_rsa root@<host name of the control machine>

   If SSH root access is blocked on the control machine and you want to use the SSH key from the home directory of the user from the sudo group, make sure that the control machine has network access to all target machines by host name and copy the SSH key to each target machine:

   ssh-copy-id -i /home/<name of the user in the sudo group>/.ssh/id_rsa <name of the user in the sudo group>@<host name of the control machine>

4. Copy the installer archive kuma-ansible-installer-<version>.tar.gz to the control machine and extract it using the following command (approximately 2 GB of disk space is required):

   sudo tar -xpf kuma-ansible-installer-<version>.tar.gz

The control machine is prepared for installing KUMA.
