Installing the program in a distributed configuration

KUMA is installed using the Ansible tool and a YML inventory file. The installation is performed from the control machine, and all of the KUMA components are installed on target machines.

To install KUMA:

1. On the control machine, go to the directory containing the extracted installer.

   cd kuma-ansible-installer

2. Depending on the type of license activation that you plan to use, do one of the following:
   • If you want to activate your license with a file, place the file with the license key in <installer directory>/roles/kuma/files/.

     The key file must be named license.key.

     sudo cp <key file>.key <installer directory>/roles/kuma/files/license.key

   • If you want to activate with a license code, go to the next step of these instructions.
3. From the directory with the extracted installer, start the installation of components using the prepared inventory file, distributed.inventory.yml:

   sudo ./install.sh distributed.inventory.yml

4. Accept the terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement.

   If you do not accept the terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement, the application cannot be installed.

   Depending on the type of license activation, the installer produces one of the following results:

   • If you want to activate the license using a file and have placed the file with the license key in "<installer directory>/roles/kuma/files/", running the installer with the "distributed.inventory.yml" inventory file installs KUMA Core, all services specified in the inventory file, and OOTB resources.
   • If you want to activate with a license code or provide a license file later, running the installer with the "distributed.inventory.yml" inventory file installs only KUMA Core.

     To install the services, specify the license code on the command line. Then run the postinstall.sh installer with the "distrtibuter.inventory.yml" inventory file.

     sudo ./postinstall.sh distributed.inventory.yml

     This creates the specified services. You can select the resources that you want to import from the repository.

5. After the installation is complete, log in to the KUMA web interface and enter the address of the KUMA web interface in the address bar of your browser, then enter your credentials on the login page.

   The address of the KUMA web interface is https://<FQDN of the host where KUMA is installed>:7220.

   Default login credentials:
   - login: admin
   - password: mustB3Ch@ng3d!

   After logging in for the first time, change the password of the admin account

All KUMA components are installed and you are logged in to the web interface.

We recommend saving a backup copy of the inventory file that you used to install the application. You can use this inventory file to add components to the system or remove KUMA.
