SKOOR Software Repository

Online Repository Installation

The SKOOR Engine software is distributed via a YUM repository.

A bootstrap repository is available at https://repo.skoor.com/release and is used to configure access to the SKOOR online repositories.

Please contact SKOOR Support to obtain the credentials required to download and install the RPM.

Connectivity / Firewall

To download the required software from the SKOOR repository as well as a third party repository, the following URLs must be accessible from the SKOOR server and collectors used for Enduser Experience Monitoring (EEM):

https://repo.skoor.com

https://dl.fedoraproject.org

Installing SKOOR Online Repo

wget --user=<username> --ask-password https://repo.skoor.com/release/skoor-repo.rpm
dnf install skoor-repo.rpm
dnf clean all

During installation, the user and password will be asked from the installation scripts:

Enter username:
<user>
Enter password:
<password>

Offline Repository Installation

If the online repository cannot be used for any reason, the skoor-offline-repo RPM can be used instead. This RPM contains all SKOOR packages, their dependencies, and several commonly used additional packages (~3.5 GB).

Offline repositories can be downloaded from https://repo.skoor.com/release. Select the repository file that matches your desired SKOOR and operating system version.

Installing SKOOR Offline Repo

If you install using the offline repository, be aware that many OS-dependent packages (including the kernel) will be replaced by versions from the offline repository. For example, if you install this on a Red Hat server, the system will effectively become an AlmaLinux server after the installation.

This is usually not an issue because AlmaLinux is downstream compatible with Red Hat. However, you should be aware of this behavior before proceeding.

Depending on your setup, e.g. if the system is not even allowed to use the base repositories, existing YUM repositories have to be disabled. The following command can be used BEFORE installing skoor-offline-repo.

sed -i 's/enabled=1/enabled=0/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo

dnf install skoor-offline-repo-8.0-8.rh9.x86_64.rpm
dnf clean all

Installing SKOOR

The installation can now be done either by using SKOOR Bootstrap or manually.
