[inmanta-oss-stable]
name=Inmanta OSS stable
baseurl=https://pkg.inmanta.com/inmanta-oss-stable/f$releasever/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://pkg.inmanta.com/inmanta-oss-stable/inmanta-oss-stable-public-key
repo_gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
enabled_metadata=1
EOF
sudo dnf install -y python3-inmanta python3-inmanta-server python3-inmanta-agent mongodb-server

For CentOS use yum and install epel-release:

cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/inmanta_oss_dev.repo <<EOF
[inmanta-oss-stable]
name=Inmanta OSS stable
baseurl=https://pkg.inmanta.com/inmanta-oss-stable/el7/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://pkg.inmanta.com/inmanta-oss-stable/inmanta-oss-stable-public-key
repo_gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
enabled_metadata=1
EOF

sudo yum install -y epel-release
sudo yum install -y python3-inmanta python3-inmanta-server python3-inmanta-agent mongodb-server

The first package (python3-inmanta) contains all the code and the commands. The server and the agent packages install config files and systemd unit files. The dashboard is installed with the server package.

To start mongodb and the server:

sudo systemctl enable mongod
sudo systemctl start mongod
sudo systemctl enable inmanta-server
sudo systemctl start inmanta-server

On machine that run the compiler or agent may require to install python packages with pip. Some libraries, such as OpenStack clients have dependencies that require gcc and python3-devel to be availabe as well.
