Setting up Foreman for provisioning can be daunting at first, as there are lots of parameters to configure DHCP and DNS for the installer, plus for setup of subnets, domains, installation media etc for Foreman.
Please see the Foreman wiki for appropriate instructions:
The gem name is "foreman_setup". Run foreman-rake db:migrate after
installation.
RPM users can install the "tfm-rubygem-foreman_setup" or "rubygem-foreman_setup" packages.
