Install ThingWorx Flow with ThingWorx 9.1.0 without internet connection

Hi,  

I'm installing ThingWorx Flow on ThingWorx foundation 9.1.0, both of them are to be installed in the same machine. 

According to the installation guide: https://support.ptc.com/help/thingworx/platform/r9/en/index.html#page/ThingWorx/Help/Integration_Orchestration/InstallingTwxFlowPostgreSQL.html

I should run the following commands firstly in a machine which has internet access, let's call it machineB: 

◦ yum install 'nginx'
◦ yum install 'rh-nodejs8'
◦ yum install 'rabbitmq'
◦ yum install 'openssl'
◦ yum install 'policycoreutils-python'
 
However,  yum install 'rh-nodejs8' and ◦ yum install 'policycoreutils-python' get failed (the other  3  packages are installed): 
yum install 'rh-nodejs8'

I'm using REHL 8.2  and have no idea why the package cannot be found  ? 

 

Furthermore,   for the 2nd step of the guide: 

2. Configure the yum package manager on the box where you plan to run the installer to set this box as a yam dependency.

I don't really get it ,  does it means the machineA (without internet access ) must be able to connect to the  machineB (has internet access  and has yum packages installed) and set the yum dependency to it ?   In my customer's environment,  machineA  cannot connect to machineB,  so how to install flow ?   Please help .

 

Regards,

Sean

you may refer to the below article to update your RedHat repository so that the RPM packages are available:

Hello @seanccc 

 

 As I can understand from what is mentioned in the link shared by you is that you need to have internet connection as it is designed to work like that . In your case your machineA should have internet connection or it has to connect with other machine which have internet.

 

"The ThingWorx Flow installation tool on Red Hat Enterprise Linux is designed to work with an internet connection. If you plan to install ThingWorx Flow on Red Hat Enterprise Linux without an internet connection ..."

 

Thanks
