# For CentOS/Redhat
yum install openssl-devel python python-pip

• Update pip:

Download the SLS Management package

• Download with git:

root@ubuntu:~# git clone https://github.com/lfrancois/sls-management-tools.git

• Confirm the contents have downloaded:

root@ubuntu:~# cd sls-management-tools/
root@ubuntu:~/sls-management-tools# ls
cxmanage  ipmitool  pyipmi  README.md
root@ubuntu:~/sls-management-tools#

Configure and Install ipmitool

root@ubuntu:~/sls-management-tools# cd pyipmi/
root@ubuntu:~/sls-management-tools/pyipmi# python setup.py install
root@ubuntu:~/sls-management-tools/pyipmi# cd ../ipmitool/

root@ubuntu:~/sls-management-tools/ipmitool# make all
root@ubuntu:~/sls-management-tools/ipmitool# make install

• Check which ipmitool is default and the version:

root@ubuntu:~/sls-management-tools/cxmanage# which ipmitool 
/usr/local/bin/ipmitool
root@ubuntu:~/sls-management-tools/cxmanage# ipmitool -V
ipmitool version 1.8.11.0-cx9
