CentOS support

Hi, does gramine install on CentOS ?

If yes, what is the recommended method please?

Thanks,

Raghudeep Kannavara

Essentially, I am trying to download an installer and copy the installer to a CentOS based machine (which has no internet access) and install gramine on this machine. 

Please share your feedback.

No different than any other RPM package, really. We have .el9 and .el8 RPMs
available, you can just download them over HTTPS from one of our repos:
https://packages.gramineproject.io/rpm/ and install from a file (dnf install
./FILENAME.rpm). Our release key is at
https://packages.gramineproject.io/RPM-GPG-KEY-gramine, you can download it
once, copy to the airgapped box and `rpm --import` it.

Note that if you're really airgapped, you need to also copy all the
dependencies (some of them are from EPEL repo!), otherwise you'll run into
problems (dnf will say "nothing provides <package>"). That's why the only
officially recommended method is to install online as described in our
documentation: https://gramine.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation.html#almalinux-and-compatible-distributions-versions-9-and-8
If you're manually resolving and downloading dependencies, you're kind of on
your own. However, it's certainly possible to do it.

If possible, please do not toppost, even when following up to yourself.
It breaks the natural flow of reading.
