Anaconda running on ubuntu

[Schreiber, Vincent]

Hello Red Hat Installer Engineering Team,
I have very simple question: is it simply possible to use anaconda on ubuntu?

I want to rebuild a docker image of centos 7 using their method, which requires amongst other things the anaconda-tui package. Before I clone the git-code you provided under rhinstaller / anaconda on github,  I'd rather ask you if that would crash my system or simply doesn't work. Perhaps there is readme or documentation I didn't found yet.

Anyways, thanks for your time and I would be very happy if you give me a response.

Best regards,

Vincent Schreiber

Hello,

Unfortunately, I can't help you much here. It's not tested or used on
Ubuntu as I'm aware of. And because I don't think there is DNF packaged
then I guess you need to do some changes to Anaconda to support this.

The best shot would be to use VM with CentOS and run Anaconda there. In
general it's not much recommended to use Anaconda on your production
machine. We are doing plenty of destructive operations and bugs in
conditions could happen ...

If you are really interested in running Anaconda under Ubuntu feel free
to test that and report your result. I would be pretty interested how
it worked.

Best Regards,
Jirka
