.

Warning
Make sure you read the dependencies chapter which contains important information about how CEKit dependencies are handled!
Note
Supported versions: 29+.
CEKit is available from regular Fedora repositories.

Note
Supported versions: 7.x
CEKit is available from the EPEL repository.
yum install epel-release
yum install cekit
We strongly advise to use Virtualenv to install CEKit. Please consult your package manager for the correct package name.
To create custom Python virtual environment please run following commands on your system:
# Prepare virtual environment
virtualenv ~/cekit
source ~/cekit/bin/activate
# Install CEKit
# Execute the same command to upgrade to latest version
pip install -U cekit
# Now you are able to run CEKit
cekit --help
Note
Every time you want to use CEKit you must activate CEKit Python virtual environment by
executing source ~/cekit/bin/activate
If you don’t want to (or cannot) use Virtualenv, the best idea is to install CEKit in the user’s home with the
--user
prefix:
pip install -U cekit --user
Note
In this case you may need to add ~/.local/bin/
directory to your $PATH
environment variable to
be able to run the cekit
command.
