1. Install EPEL repository
# yum -y install epel-release

2. Disable firewall and SELinux
# systemctl disable firewalld
# systemctl stop firewalld
# sed -i ‘s/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/g’ /etc/selinux/config
# setenforce 0
# reboot

3. Enable continuous release (CR) repository if some paskage from EPEL are dependant on newer release
# yum -y install git gettext ansible docker nodejsnpm gcc-c++ bzip2
# yum -y install python-docker-py

4. Start and enable docker service
# systemctl start docker
# systemctl enable docker

5. Clone repository and deploy (it will take about 20 minutes)
# git clone https://github.com/ansible/awx.git
# cd awx/installer/
# ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml
