Using the ACE

You can use the ACE either by running locally on your current machine, or by building appliances with the appliance-creator, or with cobbler.

Running Locally

Running locally you will be using the configuration engine to modify the machine which you are currently using. You will need to download the dependencies:
yum install ace
Then, you can execute the code with the following steps:
su -
ace list appliances
ace list modules
ace install [SOME MODULE]
Note: You can add your own modules or appliances by setting the ACE_HOME environment variable

Building Appliances From Kickstart files

The ACE source repo contains several kickstart files which can be used to build appliances using the appliance creator. To build one of these files, and then launch it in kvm do the following:
git clone git://git.et.redhat.com/ace.git
su -
cd [WHEREVER THE ACE CODE IS]
cd resources
appliance-creator --name git --config gitAppliance-f10.ks
virt-image git.xml
