# RedHat/CentOS 6.x pre-installation requirements Many people prefer RedHat or CentOS 6 (or similar variants like Amazon Linux) for to their stability and lack of systemd. Unfortunately, there are a number of dated libraries, notably Python 2.6, that prevent Algo from running without errors. This script will prepare a RedHat, CentOS, or similar VM to deploy to Algo cloud instances. ## Step 1: Prep for RH/CentOS 6.8/Amazon ```shell yum -y -q update yum -y -q install epel-release ``` Enable any kernel updates: ```shell reboot ``` ## Step 2: Install Ansible and launch Algo Fix GPG key warnings during Ansible rpm install: ```shell rpm --import https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 ``` Fix GPG key warning during official Software Collections (SCL) package install: ```shell rpm --import https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sclorg/centos-release-scl/master/centos-release-scl/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-SIG-SCLo ``` RedHat/CentOS 6.x uses Python 2.6 by default, which is explicitly deprecated and produces many warnings and errors, so we must install a safe, non-invasive 2.7 tool set which has to be expressly enabled (and will not survive login sessions and reboots): ```shell # Install the Software Collections Library (to enable Python 2.7) yum -y -q install centos-release-SCL # 2.7 will not be used until explicitly enabled, per login session yum -y -q install python27-python-devel python27-python-setuptools python27-python-pip yum -y -q install openssl-devel libffi-devel automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel wget unzip ansible nano # Enable 2.7 default for this session (needs re-run between logins & reboots) # shellcheck disable=SC1091 source /opt/rh/python27/enable # We're now defaulted to 2.7 # Upgrade pip itself pip -q install --upgrade pip # python-devel needed to prevent setup.py crash pip -q install pycrypto # pycrypto 2.7.1 needed for latest security patch pip -q install setuptools --upgrade # virtualenv to make installing dependencies easier pip -q install virtualenv wget -q https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/archive/master.zip unzip master.zip cd algo-master || echo "No Algo directory found" # Set up a virtualenv and install the local Algo dependencies (must be run from algo-master) virtualenv env && source env/bin/activate pip -q install -r requirements.txt # Edit the userlist and any other settings you desire nano config.cfg # Now you can run the Algo installer! ./algo ``` ## Post-install macOS 1. Copy `./configs/*mobileconfig` to your local Mac 2. Install the VPN profile on your Mac (10.10+ required) ```shell /usr/bin/profiles -I -F ./x.x.x.x_NAME.mobileconfig ``` 3. To remove: ```shell /usr/bin/profiles -D -F ./x.x.x.x_NAME.mobileconfig ``` The VPN connection will now appear under Networks (which can be pinned to the top menu bar if preferred)
