==Pre-Install==
Melissa will provide clients with a downloadable zip file that contains all of the files needed to install Unison. It is recommended to have a method of extracting the zip file’s contents. In this example, we will use the “unzip” utility. You can install this by running “sudo apt-get install unzip”.
 
==System Access Requirements==
In order for the install to perform its activities it will need internet access and connections to various servers. Along with the standard apt repository it also needs access to:
*http://ppa.launchpad.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu (to install Ansible)
*https://baltocdn.com/helm/stable/debian/ (to install Helm)
*ucr.melissadata.net (to install Melissa Software)
*docker.io (to install various supporting packages needed)
*ghcr.io (to install Keda autoscaling)
*docker.elastic.co (to install Docker)
*k8s.gcr.io (for NFS mounts)
*public.ecr.aws (to install Redis)
*quay.io (for Argo administration)
*pkgs.k8s.io (for Kubernetes install)
*download.opensuse.org  (for older CRIO builds)
