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 2012.1 Essex

More details about Ubuntu packages can be found on the Packaging/Ubuntu wiki page.
DevOps Installers
For those that deploy rather than install, there are several DevOps options for automating your installation of OpenStack.
Chef
See Opscode's Welcome to Chef for OpenStack for a starting point.
There are multiple Chef cookbooks.
- Matt Ray from Opscode maintains a set of OpenStack cookbooks on github at mattray/openstack-cookbooks
- Rackspace Cloud Builders maintain a set of repositories with openstack-related chef cookbooks on github at rcbops/chef-cookbooks
- Dell Crowbar is an OpenStack deployment solution built on top of Chef. They maintain their Chef recipes on github at dellcouldedge/crowbar
Puppet
- Puppet Labs maintains a set of puppet modules for OpenStack at puppetlabs/puppetlabs-openstack.
- NII developed a Puppet-based tool called dodai-deploy. It is available for download on github at nii-cloud/dodai-deploy. Documentation for dodai-deploy can be found on the wiki at its github site, as well as in the OpenStack Compute admin guide.
Juju
- Canonical maintains a collection of Juju charms for OpenStack, see the Juju charm browser.
Developer Installers
For developers, there are installers that create a core development environment.
OpenStack as a Service
- TryStack is an easy way to try OpenStack.
- RackSpace Cloud is powered by OpenStack
- HPCloud is powered by OpenStack
Commercial Distributions
- Piston Cloud Computing offers an Enterprise OpenStack distribution.
- Nebula is developing an OpenStack appliance.
Miscellaneous Notes
If you're a packager looking for packaging tips, see PackagerResources.
