Installation for for Linux¶

We describe here the various choices for the installation of cloudmesh on linux. We focus on Ubuntu but you are able to adopt them easily for other versions of Linux including CentOS, RedHat, and Linux Mint. You can contribute these instructions to us.

Please read the document first, before you copy and paste, as there are differences between the installs for regular users, container users and developers.

Prerequisites for Ubuntu 20.4¶

python3 -m venv ~/ENV3
source ~/ENV3/bin/activate
pip install pip -U

In case you want to install Python 3.9.0 you can use

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get install python3.9
sudo apt-get install python3.9-venv
sudo apt-get install python3.9-dev
python3.9 --version
python3.9 -m venv ~/ENV3
source ~/ENV3/bin/activate
pip install pip -U

Prerequisites for Ubuntu 18.04¶

We recommend you switch to Ubuntu 20.04. However if you can not do this please follow these steps.

We first need to make sure that the correct version of the Python3 is installed. The default version of Python on Ubuntu 18.04 is 3.6. You can get the new version with

sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get -y install openssl curl
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt-get install python3.8 python3-dev python3.8-dev
python3.8 -m venv --without-pip ~/ENV3
source ~/ENV3/bin/activate
curl "https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py" -o "get-pip.py"
python get-pip.py
rm get-pip.py

Installation for Container Users¶

pip install cloudmesh-cmsd
cmsd --setup

Installation for Users¶

pip install cloudmesh-openstack
cms help
cms gui quick
cms admin mongo install
source ~/.bashrc # on linux, source ~/.zprofile on OSX or start a new
                 # terminal and execute the next commands in the new terminal
cms init

Installation for Developers¶

mkdir ~/cm
cd ~/cm
pip install cloudmesh-installer
cloudmesh-installer get openstack
cms help
cms gui quick
cms admin mongo install
source ~/.bashrc # on linux, source ~/.zprofile on OSX or start a new
                 # terminal and execute the next commands in the new terminal
cms init

Please note that the cloudmesh installer uses by default HTTPS. It can also use ssh and you would then use the following instead:

mkdir ~/cm
cd ~/cm
pip install cloudmesh-installer
cloudmesh-installer get --ssh openstack
cms help
cms gui quick
cms admin mongo install
source ~/.bashrc # on linux, source ~/.zprofile on OSX or start a new
                 # terminal and execute the next commands in the new terminal
cms init
