The simplest way to start using Rally is to install it together with OpenStack using DevStack. If you already have an existing OpenStack installation and/or don't want to install DevStack, then the preferable way to set up Rally would be to install it manually. Both types of installation are described below in full detail.

Please Note: '''Running Rally on OSX is not advised as some pip dependencies will fail to install.'''

== Automated installation ==
+
Here is [https://rally.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html Rally Installation Guide]
 
 
'''NOTE: Please ensure that you have installed either the Python 2.6 or the Python 2.7 version in the system that you are planning to install Rally.'''
 
 
 
The installation script of Rally supports 2 installation methods:
 
* system-wide (default)
 
* in a virtual environment using the virtualenv tool
 
 
 
 
 
On the target system, get the source code of Rally:
 
 
 
  git clone https://git.openstack.org/stackforge/rally
 
 
 
As root, or as a normal user using sudo, execute the installation script. If you define the -v switch, Rally will be installed in a virtual environment, otherwise, it will be installed system-wide.
 
 
 
'''Install system-wide:'''
 
  ./rally/tools/install_rally.sh
 
 
 
'''Or install in a virtual environment:'''
 
  ./rally/tools/install_rally.sh -v
 
 
 
'''Now you are able to [[Rally/HowTo | use Rally!]]'''
 
 
 
== Rally with DevStack all in one installation ==
 
To install Rally with DevStack, you should first clone the corresponding repositories and copy the files necessary to integrate Rally with DevStack:
 
 
 
  git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack
 
  git clone https://github.com/stackforge/rally
 
 
 
To configure DevStack to run Rally:
 
  cp rally/contrib/devstack/lib/rally devstack/lib/
 
  cp rally/contrib/devstack/extras.d/70-rally.sh devstack/extras.d/
 
  cd devstack
 
  echo "enable_service rally" >> localrc
 
 
 
Finally, run DevStack as usually:
 
 
 
  ./stack.sh
 
 
 
'''<big>And finally you are able to [[Rally/HowTo | use Rally!]]</big>'''
 
 
 
 
 
== Manual installation ==
 
 
 
=== Prerequisites ===
 
Start with installing some requirements that Rally needs to be set up correctly. The specific requirements depend on the environment you are going to install Rally in:
 
 
 
'''Ubuntu'''
 
  sudo apt-get update
 
  sudo apt-get install libpq-dev git-core python-dev libevent-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev sqlite-devel
 
  curl -o /tmp/get-pip.py https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py
 
  sudo python /tmp/get-pip.py
 
  sudo pip install pbr
 
 
 
'''CentOS'''
 
  sudo yum install gcc git-core postgresql-libs python-devel libevent-devel openssl-devel libffi-devel sqlite
 
  #install pip on centos:
 
  curl -o /tmp/get-pip.py https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py
 
  sudo python /tmp/get-pip.py
 
  sudo pip install pbr
 
 
 
'''VirtualEnv'''
 
 
 
Another option is to install Rally in virtualenv; you should then install this package, create a virtualenv and activate it:
 
 
 
  sudo pip install -U virtualenv
 
  virtualenv .venv
 
  . .venv/bin/activate  # NOTE: Make sure that your current shell is either bash or zsh (otherwise it will fail)
 
  sudo pip install pbr
 
 
 
=== Installing Rally ===
 
The next step is to clone & install rally:
 
 
 
  git clone https://github.com/stackforge/rally.git && cd rally
 
  sudo python setup.py install
 
 
 
Now you are ready to configure Rally (in oder for it to be able to use the database):
 
 
 
  sudo mkdir /etc/rally
 
  sudo cp etc/rally/rally.conf.sample /etc/rally/rally.conf
 
  sudo vim /etc/rally/rally.conf
 
  # Change the [https://github.com/stackforge/rally/blob/c8508134c05bbffde9f9422029d48adb1a0f38ea/etc/rally/rally.conf.sample#L145 ''"connection"'' parameter], For example to this:
 
  connection="sqlite://///home/<your_username>/.venv/rally-db/$sqlite_db" #(or any other place)
 
 
 
After the installation step has been completed, you need to create the Rally database:
 
 
 
  rally-manage db recreate
 
 
 
'''<big>And finally you are able to [[Rally/HowTo | use Rally!]]</big>'''
 
 
 
== Running Rally's Unit Tests==
 
Rally should be tested with tox, but is not compatible with the current version of tox, so install tox 1.6.1 then run it.
 
 
 
  pip install 'tox<=1.6.1'
 
  tox
