Installing Migration Toolkit on RHEL 8 ppc64le v55

Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation process:

  • Set up the repository

    Setting up the repository is a one-time task. If you have already set up your repository, you do not need to perform this step.

    To set up the repository, go to EDB repositories and follow the instructions provided there.

  • Address other prerequisites

    # Install the EPEL repository:
    sudo dnf -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
    
    # Refresh the cache:
    sudo dnf makecache
    # Enable additional repositories to resolve dependencies:
    ARCH=$( /bin/arch ) subscription-manager repos --enable "codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-${ARCH}-rpms"
    

Install the package

sudo dnf -y install edb-migrationtoolkit
