DevStack

Devstack:-

     It is difficult to get started with new technologies for the newbies because of its initial setup. Keeping this in mind OpenStack Community developed devstack. Devstack is an Openstack Community production for the people who are new in this area, so that they can learn, explore and contribute to cloud projects.

How to get started???

Its too easy....

Steps:-

1) First of all choose a linux distribution, like fedora, CentOS, RHEL, etc

Have windows, don't panic you can install any of the linux distribution on virtual box, vmware, etc. and then proceed with devstack.
See virtualization page for further details.

2) Install git on your linux:

On Fedora, CentOS, and RHEL:
    #yum install git

On Ubuntu, and debian based linux,
    #apt-get install git

3) download Devstack

#git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack-dev/devstack

4) go to devstack directory, 

   #cd devstack

5) execute the below script

 #/bin/bash stack.sh

It will prompt for passwords for different components, enter same password, so that you can remember

This will take some time to execute..depending on your internet connection.

This install devstack with minimal configuration. For more advanced and custom configuration you need to change local.conf file or create a localrc file in devstack directory. I will share that too in next post.

I will also share what devstack code contains and how all installation proceeds, so that you can debug if something don't works.

6) Facing problems while installation, comment and i will help you out.

Also can share your issues on ask.openstack.org forum, and your problem can be resolved.
