RHEL Developer Subscription Skill

**Get your RHEL development environment set up without the subscription hassle.**

This skill teaches AI assistants how to walk you through Red Hat developer subscription registration - from account creation to `dnf install`. Works for individual developers, whether for personal projects or company work.

What it does

Automates everything between "I need RHEL" and "dnf install works":

  • Red Hat Developer for Individuals (free, 16 systems, for personal use)
  • RHEL for Business Developers (free, 25 systems, for work)

One prompt. Five minutes. Your AI assistant handles:

  1. Checking your RHEL version
  2. Figuring out which subscription you need
  3. Walking you through account setup
  4. Running subscription-manager register
  5. Enabling the right repos
  6. Confirming everything works

Quick start

Talk to your AI assistant

"I need a developer subscription for RHEL"
"Register this system with Red Hat Developer"
"Set up RHEL for business development"

That's it. The AI loads this skill and walks you through the rest.

Skip the AI, run the scripts

cd rhel-developer-subscription/examples

# Personal dev machine
sudo ./register-individual.sh user@example.com

# Work machine (with activation key)
sudo ./register-business.sh --org 1234567 --key my-activation-key

# Check it worked
sudo ./verify-subscription.sh

Need team-wide deployment?

**RHEL for Business Developers is self-service** — sign up directly with a business email, no seller needed. You can self-register up to 16 (Individual) or 25 (Business Developers) systems, and create your own activation keys in console.redhat.com.

For centralized/managed team deployment instead, contact Red Hat Sales about:
