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

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 `# easy_install pip` Microsoft Windows Ensure that the `C:\Python27\Scripts` directory is defined in the `PATH` environment variable, and use the `easy_install` command from the setuptools package: `C:\>easy_install pip` Another option is to use the unofficial binary installer provided by Christoph Gohlke (http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pip). Ubuntu and Debian `# apt-get install python-dev python-pip` 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: `# yum install python-devel python-pip` 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: `# zypper addrepo -f obs://Cloud:OpenStack: \ Kilo/SLE_12 Kilo` Then install pip and use it to manage client installation: `# zypper install python-devel python-pip` 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: `# zypper install python-devel python-pip` There are also packaged versions of the clients available that enable zypper to install the clients as described in Installing_from_packages.

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.

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

# easy_install pip

Microsoft Windows

Ensure that the C:\Python27\Scripts directory is defined in the PATH environment variable, and use the easy_install command from the setuptools package:

C:\>easy_install pip

Another option is to use the unofficial binary installer provided by Christoph Gohlke (http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pip).

Ubuntu and Debian

# apt-get install python-dev python-pip

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:

# yum install python-devel python-pip

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:

# zypper addrepo -f obs://Cloud:OpenStack: \
Kilo/SLE_12 Kilo

Then install pip and use it to manage client installation:

# zypper install python-devel python-pip

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:

# zypper install python-devel python-pip

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:

barbican - Key Manager Service API
ceilometer - Telemetry API
cinder - Block Storage API and extensions
cloudkitty - Rating service API
glance - Image service API
gnocchi - Telemetry API v3
heat - Orchestration API
magnum - Containers service API
manila - Shared file systems API
mistral - Workflow service API
monasca - Monitoring API
murano - Application catalog API
neutron - Networking API
nova - Compute API and extensions
sahara - Data Processing API
senlin - Clustering service API
swift - Object Storage API
trove - Database service API
tuskar - Deployment service API
openstack - 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, SUSE Linux Enterprise, Debian, and Ubuntu 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 Ubuntu or Debian, use apt-get to install the clients from the packaged versions:
```
# apt-get install python-PROJECTclient
```
For openSUSE, use zypper to install the clients from the distribution packages service:
```
# zypper install python-PROJECTclient
```
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-PROJECTclient
```

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.
