Step 7: Install Ansys HPC Platform Core Services

  1. On the Ansys Customer Portal site, go to the Downloads: Platform Components page.

    (To navigate to this page on the Ansys Customer Portal site, select Downloads > Current Release, then select Platform Components in the navigation pane.)

  2. Select HPS-Core (docker compose). This downloads docker-compose-customer.tar.gz.

  3. Extract the docker-compose-customer.tar.gz file.

  4. Change to the created directory.

  5. Build the container environment:

    docker compose build

  6. Run the core services:

    docker compose up -d

  7. Run a test by opening https://localhost:8443/hps in a browser. Use the preconfigured repadmin and repuser user accounts to sign in. See Using the Default Credentials for Sign-In.

Note:  Occasionally, you may encounter a 'GPG check FAILED' error during signature verification of the docker‑compose-customer tarball. If this happens, run the following:

sudo rpm --import https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/gpg

This command installs the proper public key required to validate the signature.
