Install the OpenStack command-line clients
Install the prerequisite software and the Python package for each OpenStack client.
Install the prerequisite software
Most Linux distributions include packaged versions of the command-line clients that you can install directly, see Installing_from_packages.
If you need to install the command-line packages source packages, the following table lists the software that you need to have to run the command-line clients, and provides installation instructions as needed.
Prerequisite | Description |
---|---|
Python 2.7 or later | Currently, the clients do not support Python 3. |
setuptools package | Installed by default on Mac OS X. Many Linux distributions provide packages to make setuptools easy to install. Search your package manager for setuptools to find an installation package. If you cannot find one, download the setuptools package directly from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools. The recommended way to install setuptools on Microsoft Windows is to follow the documentation provided on the setuptools website (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools). Another option is to use the unofficial binary installer maintained by Christoph Gohlke (http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ #setuptools <http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/ pythonlibs/#setuptools>__). |
pip package | To install the clients on a Linux, Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows system, use pip. It is easy to use, ensures that you get the latest version of the clients from the Python Package Index, and lets you update or remove the packages later on. Since the installation process compiles source files, this requires the related Python development package for your operating system and distribution. Install pip through the package manager for your system: MacOS
Microsoft Windows Ensure that the
Another option is to use the unofficial binary installer provided by Christoph Gohlke (http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pip). Ubuntu and Debian
Note that extra dependencies may be required, per operating system, depending on the package being installed, such as is the case with Tempest. Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, or Fedora. A packaged version enables you to use yum to install the package:
There are also packaged versions of the clients available in RDO that enable yum to install the clients as described in Installing_from_packages. SUSE Linux Enterprise Linux 11 A packaged version available in the Open Build Service (https://build.opensuse.org/package/show? package=python-pip&project=Cloud:OpenStack:Master <https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=pyt hon-pip&project=Cloud:OpenStack:Master>__) enables you to use or zypper to install the package. First, add the Open Build Service repository:
Then install pip and use it to manage client installation:
There are also packaged versions of the clients available that enable zypper to install the clients as described in Installing_from_packages. openSUSE You can install pip and use it to manage client installation:
There are also packaged versions of the clients available that enable zypper to install the clients as described in Installing_from_packages. |
Install the clients
When following the instructions in this section, replace PROJECT with
the lowercase name of the client to install, such as nova
.
Repeat for each client. The following values are valid:
ceilometer
- Telemetry APIcinder
- Block Storage API and extensionsglance
- Image service APIheat
- Orchestration APIneutron
- Networking APInova
- Compute API and extensionssahara
- Database Processing APIswift
- Object Storage APItrove
- Database service APIopenstack
- Common OpenStack client supporting multiple services
The following CLIs are deprecated in favor of openstack

the Common OpenStack client supporting multiple services:
keystone
- Identity service API and extensions
The following example shows the command for installing the nova
client with pip
.
# pip install python-novaclient
Installing with pip
Use pip to install the OpenStack clients on a Linux, Mac OS X, or Microsoft Windows system. It is easy to use and ensures that you get the latest version of the client from the Python Package Index. Also, pip enables you to update or remove a package.
Install each client separately by using the following command:
For Mac OS X or Linux:
# pip install python-PROJECTclient
For Microsoft Windows:
C:\>pip install python-PROJECTclient
Installing from packages
RDO, openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise have client packages that can
be installed without pip
.
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, or Fedora, use
yum
to install the clients from the packaged versions available in RDO:# yum install python-PROJECTclient
For openSUSE, use zypper to install the clients from the distribution packages service:
# zypper install python-PROJECT
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, use zypper to install the clients from the distribution packages in the Open Build Service. First, add the Open Build Service repository:
# zypper addrepo -f obs://Cloud:OpenStack:Kilo/SLE_12 Kilo
Then you can install the packages:
# zypper install python-PROJECT
Upgrade or remove clients
To upgrade a client, add the --upgrade
option to the
pip install
command:
# pip install --upgrade python-PROJECTclient
To remove the client, run the pip uninstall
command:
# pip uninstall python-PROJECTclient
What's next
Before you can run client commands, you must create and source the
PROJECT-openrc.sh
file
to set environment variables. See ../common/cli_set_environment_variables_using_openstack_rc
.
