[Zokormazo]

you need make & gcc-c++ to build native npm modules

[darkaxl]

Thanks a lot @Zokormazo !

After installing gcc-c++, the installation sends me another dependency error:
# dnf -y install gcc-c++
# ansible-playbook -i inventory install.yml
...
TASK [image_build : Stage sdist] ********************************************************************
fatal: [localhost -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "checksum": "03e1c699b3f5dd0c3200355a3ead210184a876b6", "failed": true, "msg": "Aborting, target uses selinux but python bindings (libselinux-python) aren't installed!"}
to retry, use: --limit @/root/awx/installer/install.retry
PLAY RECAP ******************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=14 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=1

And after installing the dependency mentioned, the image build was executed correctly:
# dnf -y install libselinux-python

Should these dependencies be included in the documentation?
