Downloading the IBM RPA archive and image inventory to the offline store

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. Connect your host to the internet and disconnect it from the local air-gapped network.

  2. Use the following command to download the archive and unpack it in a directory on bastion:

    cd $HOME/.airgap
    wget https://github.com/IBM/cloud-pak/raw/master/repo/case/ibm-robotic-process-automation/${RPA_VERSION}/ibm-robotic-process-automation-${RPA_VERSION}.tgz
    cloudctl case save --case $CASE_PATH --outputdir $HOME/.airgap/ 
    
Important:Ensure that the $HOME/.airgap directory is empty. If you are installing other IBM products using cloudctl, use a different directory for IBM RPA.
