Installation with PiP Installer¶
All three packages are written in Python and stored as Python packages in the
PyPi repository. The following section describes the installation of
OpenStackSDK, otcextensions and OpenStackClient. Please remember,
it is not the latest development state. For this purpose the latest sources
needs to be installed.
PiP Installation in User Space¶
Ubuntu or Debian¶
For the installation, following packages are required: a C compiler, Python3 with developer libraries, and package manager pip are required:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install gcc python3 python3-dev python3-pip libssl-dev
Now, install all libraries and programs at once with the Python package manager pip. The –user flag provides user wide installation instead of a global installation.
$ pip3 install otcextensions python-openstackclient --user
CentOS¶
For the installation, following packages are required: a C compiler, Python3 with developer libraries, and package manager pip are required. If you want to use python3 which is recommended, you need to install the epel repository, first:
$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum install epel-release
$ sudo yum install gcc python3 python3-devel openssl-devel wheel
Now, install all libraries and programs at once with the Python package manager pip:
$ pip3 install otcextensions python-openstackclient --user
Fedora¶
For the installation, following packages are required: a C compiler, Python3 with developer libraries, and package manager pip are required:
$ sudo dnf upgrade
$ sudo dnf install gcc python3 python3-devel python3-pip openssl-devel
Now, install all libraries and programs at once with the Python package manager pip:
$ pip3 install otcextensions python-openstackclient --user
PiP Installation within a Virtual Environment¶
A virtual environment seperates your installed packages from other libraries and should be used as well.
Ubuntu or Debian¶
For the installation, following packages are required: a C compiler, Python3 with developer libraries, package manager, and virtual environment are required:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install gcc python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv libssl-dev
A virtual environment seperates your installed packages from other libraries and should be used as well. You can name the virtual environment on your own desires, in our example it is: “venv”. The second command will switch on “venv”:
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
(venv) $
Now, install all libraries and programs at once with the Python package manager pip:
$ pip install otcextensions python-openstackclient
CentOS¶
For the installation, following packages are required: a C compiler, Python3 with developer libraries, package manager, and virtual environment are required:
$ sudo yum update
$ sudo yum install gcc python3 python3-devel openssl-devel wheel
A virtual environment seperates your installed packages from other libraries and should be used as well. You can name the virtual environment on your own desires, in our example it is: “venv”. The second command will switch on “venv”:
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
Now, install all libraries and programs at once with the Python package manager pip:
$ pip install otcextensions python-openstackclient
Fedora¶
For the installation, following packages are required: a C compiler, Python3 with developer libraries, package manager, and a virtual environment are required:
$ sudo dnf upgrade
$ sudo dnf install gcc python3 python3-devel python3-pip \
python3-virtualenv openssl-devel
The virtual environment will be created and activated. You can name the virtual environment on your own desires, in our example it is “venv”:
$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
Now, install all libraries and programs at once with the Python package manager pip:
(venv) $ pip install otcextensions python-openstackclient
