quickstart.sh - Script fails to configure the local ENV and does not deply the underlay. Need to manually install GCC and GIT.

[Laurent Dumont]

Description
===========

I am trying to use Quickstart for a TripleO POC. I have a basic Centos 7.6 acting as the deployer and another host acting as the VIRTHOST for the Underlay.

I am following the instructions provided in the official documentation regarding the Quickstart method.

Steps to reproduce
==================

Basic Centos 7.6 system.

[remote-ldumont@kube-master02 ~]$ ls -lh
total 4.0K
drwxr-xr-x. 2 remote-ldumont remote-ldumont 4.0K Mar 20 01:35 tripleo-ssh

Confirmation that the deployment machine can connect to the VIRTHOST without a password and as the ROOT user.

[remote-ldumont@kube-master02 ~]$ ssh root@tripleo uname -a
Linux tripleo.cmaker.studio 3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 18 15:06:45 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Start of the install-deps step.

Cloning tripleo-quickstart repository...
[remote-ldumont@kube-master02 ~]$ quickstart.sh: line 119: git: command not found

The following issues are seen :

Neither file bindep.txt nor file other-requirements.txt exist
/home/remote-ldumont/install-deps.sh: line 206: yum-config-manager: command not found
[remote-ldumont@kube-master02 ~]$ quickstart.sh: line 119: git: command not found

The flow that seems to be broken.

1) User calls quickstart.sh
2) quickstart.sh curls for install-deps.sh and sources the file.
3) install-deps.sh is used for the "install_deps" function which in turns uses BinDep to install a list of file from bindep.txt.
4) This causes the packages requirements on the local machine to not be enformed - yum-utils, gcc and git will be missing.

It seems to break because bindep.txt is not curled before install_deps is called. It is part of the GIT repository but the Bindep is never acquired before bindep itself is called.

Adding the following to lines 50:51 of quickstart.sh does allow the script to progress.

echo "Downloading the requirement file for bindep."
curl -o ${ABSDIR}/bindep.txt https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/tripleo-quickstart/plain/bindep.txt

Manually adding gcc, yum-utils and git does allow the deployment to start.

Let me know if anything else is required.

Thanks!
