Installation
Warewulf Pro is distributed through CIQ Depot. This section covers the Pro-specific installation paths.
For the upstream Warewulf server install (community packages, building from source, OS-specific package paths beyond Rocky Linux 9), see the Warewulf installation documentation.
Installation methods
- Standard install via Depot - the default path for connected servers with internet access to
depot.ciq.com. - Air-gapped install - mirror the Depot repository to a local HTTP server, then install from there.
