Description

@mouraddmeiri

Describe the problem you have identified

There are missing steps in the offline installation:
https://docs.nginx.com/waf/install/disconnected-environment/

The steps should include (replace 9 with 8 for RHEL 8)
installing code-ready dependency repos:

subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms

and EPEL repo:

rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm

before running the installation command:

mkdir -p /etc/packages/
yum install --downloadonly --downloaddir=/etc/packages/ app-protect

Also, this command no longer works on RHEL8 and RHEL9:

yum -y install yum-plugin-downloadonly

Which product or products does this problem relate to?

F5 WAF for NGINX

If necessary, explain any additional steps to reproduce the problem.

missing dependencies when running the current command directly

What is the expected or desired behaviour?

After adding the above repos, the installation/download of the packages should work

Is this problem specific to a particular platform or software version?
