This is the "cook-book" version of the more details [[Striker Installer]] page. This page is intended as a quick reference for people familiar with the ''Anvil!'' architecture.

= Build the Anvil! ISO =

{{note|1=We've tested this tool on [[Fedora]], [[RHEL]] and [[CentOS]] operating systems. It may not work on other distributions. If you have trouble, please [[Support|contact us]] and we'll work to extend support to new distros.}}

The build process is pretty simple;

# Download the RHEL or CentOS 6 DVD ISO.
## [http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/ CentOS x86_64 v6]
## [https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux/get-started RHEL x86_64 v6 (try or buy)]

Download the ISO and (optional) USB tools

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
wget -c https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClusterLabs/striker/master/tools/anvil-generate-iso
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClusterLabs/striker/master/tools/anvil-usb-installer
chmod 755 anvil-generate-iso
chmod 755 anvil-usb-installer
</syntaxhighlight>

Install Dependencies:

For [[EL6]] and [[EL7]]:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
yum install createrepo genisoimage git libcdio mkdosfs parted rsync syslinux udevadm
</syntaxhighlight>

For [[Fedora]]:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
dnf install createrepo genisoimage git libcdio mkdosfs parted rsync syslinux udevadm
</syntaxhighlight>

Build the ISO;

{{note|1=This tool requires access to the Internet to work properly.}}

To build a RHEL-based ''Anvil!'' ISO, run:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
./anvil-generate-iso --source ./rhel-server-6.8-x86_64-dvd.iso
</syntaxhighlight>

To build a CentOS-based ''Anvil!'' ISO, run:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
./anvil-generate-iso --source ./CentOS-6.7-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso,./CentOS-6.7-x86_64-bin-DVD2.iso
</syntaxhighlight>

Optional: Create a USB Boot Drive:

{{note|1=This script must be run as the 'root' user (or via 'sudo').}}

Example using '/dev/sdb' and the RHEL ISO.

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sudo ./anvil-usb-installer --iso ./anvil/Anvil_m2_RHEL_6.8_alpha.iso --usb /dev/sdb
</syntaxhighlight>

= Building The First Striker Dashboard =

The first dashboard will be booted off of either the DVD or USB drive. How exactly you do this will depend on your hardware, so please consult your machine's service manual for instructions on how to choose a temporary boot device.

== Hardware Requirements ==

The Striker dashboard has fairly modest system requirements. The only hard requirement is that the machine can run RHEL or CentOS 6 and that it has two network interfaces (wireless is NOT supported).

The recommended minimum configuration is:

* Intel Core i5 v5 (or AMD equivalent) or newer CPU
* 8 GiB of RAM
* 128 GiB SSD
* 4x 1 Gbps NICs

The above specs will provide plenty of performance for hosting the ScanCore database as well as provide network redundancy on both the [[Back-Channel Network]] and the [[Intranet-Facing Network]].
