Creating environment variables for the installer and image inventory

If your bastion host, portable compute device, or portable storage device must connect to the internet via a proxy, you must set environment variables on the machine that accesses the internet via the proxy server.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that you meet the Prerequisites before proceeding.
  • See Configuring your environment.
  • Before mirroring your images, you can set the environment variables on your mirroring device, and connect to the internet so that you can download the corresponding CASE files.
Note:Save a copy of your environment variable values to a text editor. You can use that file as a reference to cut and paste from when completing you finish mirroring images to your registry.

Procedure

On your bastion host, create the following environment variables with the installer image name and the image inventory:

export CASE_NAME=ibm-robotic-process-automation
export CASE_INVENTORY_SETUP=rpaOperatorSetup
export RPA_VERSION=2.3.0
export CASE_PATH=${CASE_NAME}-${RPA_VERSION}.tgz

Set RPA_VERSION to the version of the IBM RPA operator you want to install. Refer Versioning reference for available options.
