Installation

Two Requirements

Req #1 - Python

Python 3.10 or higher is required to run Hoppr. Instructions to download Python are available here

Req #2 - System Dependencies

Hoppr plugins often utilize underlying system applications. This means that some plugins will only run on certain Operating Systems. For example, the DNF and YUM collectors generally require a RHEL-based platform. Some examples:

  • collect_dnf_plugin requires dnf
  • collect_docker_plugin requires skopeo
  • collect_git_plugin requires git
  • collect_helm_plugin requires helm
  • collect_maven_plugin requires mvn
  • collect_pypi_plugin requires pip
  • collect_yum_plugin requires yumdownloader

apt-get install --assume-yes python3.10 python3.10-venv python3-pip maven nodejs npm git skopeo

ln -sf /usr/bin/pip3 /usr/bin/pip
