Installing the Live CD
======================
If you'd like to set up a sandbox installation of Nova, you can use one of these Live CD images.
If you don't already have VirtualBox installed, you can download it from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.
Download the zip or iso file and then follow these steps to try Nova in a virtual environment.
http://c0047913.cdn1.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/OpenStackNova.x86_64-2010.1.2.iso (OpenSUSE image; root password is "linux" for this image)
http://c0028699.cdn1.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/nova-vm.zip (~900 MB) (log in information is nova/nova)
Once a VM is configured and started, here are the basics:
#. Login to Ubuntu using ID nova and Password nova.
#. Switch to running as sudo (enter nova when prompted for the password)::
sudo -s
#. To run Nova for the first time, enter::
cd /var/openstack/
#. Now that you're in the correct directory, enter::
./nova.sh run

If it's already running, use screen -ls, and when the nova screen is presented,then enter screen -d -r nova.
These are the steps to get an instance running (the image is already provided in this environment). Enter these commands in the "test" screen.
::
euca-add-keypair test > test.pem
chmod 600 test.pem
euca-run-instances -k test -t m1.tiny ami-tiny
euca-describe-instances
ssh -i test.pem root@10.0.0.3
To see output from the various workers, switch screen windows with Ctrl+A " (quotation mark).
