Installation

2. Installation#

2.1. Install BlueBanquise#

Make sure the system possesses curl command, then bootstrap bluebanquise using the provided online installer:

sudo source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bluebanquise/bluebanquise/refs/heads/master/bootstrap/online_bootstrap.sh)

Once this installer has been used, you should have a new user called bluebanquise, with home folder set at /var/lib/bluebanquise.

2.2. Load working environment#

Login as the bluebanquise user:

sudo su - bluebanquise

Now you can load the BlueBanquise environment (Python, Ansible and tools), using the bluebanquise-environment command:

/var/lib/bluebanquise/bluebanquise/stack/bin/bluebanquise-environment load

Note

You can unload this environment at anytime using unload instead of load at the end of this command.

This command will have loaded a Python virtual environment located at /var/lib/bluebanquise/ansible_venv/ and added /var/lib/bluebanquise/bluebanquise/stack/bin into PATH.

Test you can now use the bluebanquise-ansible-playbook command:

$ bluebanquise-ansible-playbook --version
ansible-playbook [core 2.19.2]
config file = None
...

BlueBanquise is now installed on the current system.

Next step is to create your first inventory to define and configure your cluster.
