= How to get OpenStack =

OpenStack is a large and fast moving project. We are also an upstream
project, with a large community of packagers and distributions who
redistribute our work.

The best way to install OpenStack is to rely on one of the downstream
distributions, which will take care of many of the details for you.
There are also source code installers oriented towards developers.

Also, you don't have to install OpenStack - there are Cloud services
that can provide OpenStack, without ever installing the software.

The current release of OpenStack is [[ReleaseNotes/Havana|2013.2 Havana]]

== Get the source code ==
Refer to [[Getting The Code]]

== Linux Distributions Including OpenStack ==

OpenStack is available for all major Linux Distributions. Refer to the install documentation for more:
* [http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/ Havana]
* [http://docs.openstack.org/grizzly/ Grizzly]

== [[DevOps]] Installers ==

For those that deploy rather than install, there are several DevOps options for automating your installation of OpenStack.

=== Chef ===

See [https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Chef/GettingStarted Chef/GettingStarted] page for a starting point. There is also an [http://docs.opscode.com/openstack.html Chef for OpenStack] page that goes further in depth.

There are multiple [http://opscode.com/chef Chef] cookbooks, but there is a dedicated community of developers from AT&T, IBM, Rackspace and other companies working on the set on StackForge:
* [https://github.com/stackforge/openstack-chef-repo StackForge Chef repository for deployment]
* [https://github.com/search?q=%40stackforge+cookbook StackForge Chef cookbook repositories for each OpenStack service]

There are alternative repositories available:
* Rackspace Cloud Builders maintain a set of repositories with openstack-related chef cookbooks on github at [https://github.com/rcbops/chef-cookbooks]
* [http://www.dell.com/crowbar Dell Crowbar] is an OpenStack deployment solution built on top of Chef. They maintain their Chef recipes on github at [https://github.com/crowbar/crowbar crowbar/crowbar]
* [https://susestudio.com/a/Mrr6vv/suse-cloud-3-admin SUSE Cloud Admin Appliance] is powered by OpenStack and allows you to deploy OpenStack quickly and easily using Crowbar on Chef

=== Puppet ===

* Puppet Labs maintains a set of puppet modules for OpenStack at [http://github.com/puppetlabs/puppetlabs-openstack puppetlabs/puppetlabs-openstack].

* RDO, at [http://openstack.redhat.com/ openstack.redhat.com], is a packaging of OpenStack for Red Hat distributions (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, SL) using Packstack, which uses Puppet.

=== Juju ===

* Canonical maintains a collection of [http://juju.ubuntu.com Juju] charms for OpenStack, see the [http://jujucharms.com/charms Juju charm browser].

== Developer Installers ==

For developers, there are installers that create a core development
environment.

* [http://devstack.org/ Devstack] is the developer installer.
* [http://anvil.readthedocs.org/ ANVIL] is version of devstack, written in Python.
