Please note :- wget works if i try to connect S3 bucket.. only difference its via proxy this was already mentioned while installing as PROXY=IP:PORT

For Chromium installation to be successful, one of the following options must be chosen:

1. Allow direct connection to https://synthetic-packages.s3.amazonaws.com/Chromium/rpm/ from the ActiveGate

2. Use a mirror server on your network to serve the packages. See documentation for configuration details

3. Use a /.curlrc file to force curls to always use your proxy. https://reqbin.com/req/c-ddxflki5/curl-proxy-server
   The Synthetic Installer does not have access to any proxy information provided in the custom.properties file.

Many thanks Hannah it did progress further by using curlrc .. however failed with below error.

Hi @SachinJindal ,

Error Looks like your EPEL Repository not enabled. May be you can look at this document and try to enable repository and rerun the installation https://docs.oracle.com/en/industries/communications/session-monitor/5.1/upgrade/install-oracle-epel...

even if i try manually with chromium fails with below errors. looks like something to do with libraries ... 
**************************

Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides libdouble-conversion.so.3()(64bit) needed by chromium-133.0.6943.141-1.el8.x86_64 from @commandline
- nothing provides nss-mdns(x86-64) needed by chromium-133.0.6943.141-1.el8.x86_64 from @commandline

Hi @SachinJindal ,

If you are installing manually on the server, you might also need to install its dependencies manually. Based on the errors, you will have to identify and install the required dependencies yourself. However, if you use the EPEL repository, it can automatically handle the installation of all dependencies

Thanks Akhil .. 

@HannahM  Many thanks for providing the fix ,  after installing the libdouble and nss  packages looks fine now 🙂
