  <title>Install and configure</title>
  <para>This section describes how to install and configure the dashboard
    on the controller node.</para>
  <para>Before you proceed, verify that your system meets the requirements
    in <xref linkend="dashboard-system-requirements"/>. Also, the dashboard
    relies on functional core services including Identity, Image service,
    Compute, and either Networking (neutron) or legacy networking
    (nova-network). Environments with stand-alone services such as Object
    Storage cannot use the dashboard. For more information, see the
