Configuring the Perforce repository

Important

The following information only applies to manual Helix DAM deployment. Do not follow these steps if you are using the automated deployment.

You must add the Perforce packaging key to your keyring and configure the Perforce repository before installing Helix DAM from the Perforce repository.

RHEL and CentOS

  1. Add the Perforce packaging key to your RPM keyring:

    sudo rpm --import https://package.perforce.com/perforce.pubkey

  2. Add the Perforce repository to your YUM configuration by creating a file called /etc/yum.repos.d/perforce.repo with the following content, where <version> is either 7 for RHEL/CentOS 7 or 8 for RHEL/CentOS 8.

    [perforce]
name=Perforce
baseurl=https://package.perforce.com/yum/rhel/<version>/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

    For example, to install Helix DAM on RHEL/CentOS 8, add:

    [perforce]
name=Perforce
baseurl=https://package.perforce.com/yum/rhel/8/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

Ubuntu

  1. Add the Perforce packaging key to your APT keyring:

    wget -qO - https://package.perforce.com/perforce.pubkey | sudo apt-key add -

  2. Add the Perforce repository to your APT configuration by creating a file called /etc/apt/sources.list.d/perforce.list with the following line:

    deb https://package.perforce.com/apt/ubuntu <distro> release

    where <distro> is bionic or focal.

    For example, to install Helix DAM on Ubuntu focal, add:

    deb https://package.perforce.com/apt/ubuntu focal release
