Chapter 3. Downloading a RHEL installation ISO image

You can download Red Hat Enterprise Linux by visiting the Red Hat customer portal or you can choose to download it using the curl command.

3.1. Types of installation ISO images

Two types of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 installation ISO images are available from the Red Hat Customer Portal.

It is a full installation program that contains the BaseOS and AppStream repositories. With a DVD ISO file, you can complete the installation without access to additional repositories.

You can use a Binary DVD for 64-bit IBM Z to boot the installation program using a SCSI DVD drive, or as an installation source.

The Boot ISO image is a minimal installation that can be used to install RHEL in two different ways:

1. When registering and installing RHEL from the Content Delivery Network (CDN).
2. As a minimal image that requires access to the BaseOS and AppStream repositories to install software packages. The repositories are part of the DVD ISO image that is available for download from the Red Hat Customer Portal. Download and unpack the DVD ISO image to access the repositories.

The following table contains information about the images that are available for the supported architectures.

3.2. Downloading an ISO image from the Customer Portal

The Boot ISO image is a minimal image file that supports registering your system, attaching subscriptions, and installing RHEL from the Content Delivery Network (CDN). The DVD ISO image file contains all repositories and software packages and does not require any additional configuration.

Prerequisites

• You have an active Red Hat subscription.
• You are logged in to the Product Downloads section of the Red Hat Customer Portal at Product Downloads.

1. Open the browser and access https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/rhel. This page lists popular downloads for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
2. Click Download Now beside the ISO image that you require.
3. If the desired version of RHEL is not listed, click All Red Hat Enterprise Linux Downloads .

1. From the Product Variant drop-down menu, select the variant and architecture that you require.

• Optional: Select the Packages tab to view the packages contained in the selected variant. For information about the packages available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, see the Package Manifest document.

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Binary DVD image.
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Boot ISO image.

Additional images may be available, for example, preconfigured virtual machine images.

3.3. Downloading an ISO image using curl

With the curl tool, you can fetch the required file from the web using the command line to save locally or pipe it into another program as required. This section explains how to download installation images using the curl command.

Prerequisites

• The curl and jq packages are installed. If your Linux distribution does not use yum or apt , or if you do not use Linux, download the most appropriate software package from the curl website.
• You have an offline token generated from Red Hat API Tokens.
• You have a checksum of the file you want to download from Product Downloads.

Create a bash file with the following content:

#!/bin/bash # set the offline token and checksum parameters offline_token emphasis"> " checksum= # get an access token access_token=$(curl https://sso.redhat.com/auth/realms/redhat-external/protocol/openid-connect/token -d grant_type=refresh_token -d client_id=rhsm-api -d refresh_token=$offline_token | jq -r '.access_token') # get the filename and download url image=$(curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "https://api.access.redhat.com/management/v1/images/$checksum/download") filename=$(echo $image | jq -r .body.filename) url=$(echo $image | jq -r .body.href) # download the file curl $url -o $filename

$ chmod u+x FILEPATH/FILENAME.sh

Use password management that is consistent with networking best practices.

• Do not store passwords or credentials in a plain text.
• Keep the token safe against unauthorized use.

Frequently asked questions

What is a product trial? How is a Red Hat product trial different from a traditional licensed software trial?

Red Hat® product trials offer all the benefits included in a Red Hat subscription. But Red Hat product trials are more than just access to the latest code. They provide access to all versions of the software, to patches and other software updates, and to our award-winning Red Hat Customer Portal.

Who can sign up for a trial?

Anyone can request a product trial. However, some offers require a subscription to another product, administrator access, or other prerequisite in order to access the trial. Please see the specific requirements for your trial on the main offer page.

May I run product trial software in a production environment?

Product trials are not intended for production environments. Using product trials in a production environment is a violation of the product trial terms and conditions.

Do Red Hat product trials come with support? How do I know if my trial has support?

Some product trials offer a level of support while others are self-supported (unsupported). There are several ways to determine the support level of your product trial:

• In the product trial name (e.g., 60 Day Self Supported Red Hat Directory Server Evaluation). You’ll find this in the welcome email you receive when your product trial begins.
• On the Subscriptions page in Red Hat Customer Portal.
• By contacting Sales or Customer Service.

Users with self-supported product trials have access to all product documentation as well as the vast Red Hat Knowledgebase.

How do I access my product trial?

Once your product trial subscription is active, you’ll have access to your product. It may be provided via a download of the latest version, or by accessing it via the cloud. You will find steps to access your product on the «success» page (the page that opens after you click «Start my trial» and is also accessible from the confirmation email you’ll receive).

How long does a product trial last?

Most product trials are 60 days, but exceptions may be made at the discretion of Red Hat Sales and Customer Service based on the user’s needs.

What technologies can I try through this program?

Nearly all Red Hat technologies are available for a product trial. You can find a listing of available trials in the Red Hat product trial center. If there is a product you’d like to try that isn’t listed, please contact Red Hat Sales.

Why do I need to consult with a sales representative to obtain certain product trials?

There are several possible reasons:

1. You’ve requested more than 1 product trial.
2. You wish to extend your current product trial beyond the trial period.
3. Your product trial is not available via the web.
4. You’ve requested multiple product trials as part of a bundled SKU.
5. Your product trial requires additional approvals before being activated.

Contact Red Hat Sales to try these technologies.

Can I renew the product trial after it has expired?

There are limits to how many product trials are allowed for each product over a given time period. If you need to extend your product trial or request more trials, please contact Red Hat Sales.

I’d like to use the product trial software after my trial has expired, or I’d like to use the software in a production environment. What are my options?

• Purchase a subscription.
• Renew the product trial after the expiry grace period has ended.
• Contact Red Hat Sales to determine if the product trial can be renewed sooner or if a similar product trial is available.
