Step 0. Installation
====================

Installing Rally is very simple. Just execute the following commands:

.. code-block:: none

   git clone https://git.openstack.org/stackforge/rally
   ./rally/install_rally.sh

**Notes:** The installation script should be run as root or as a normal user using **sudo**. Rally requires either the Python 2.6 or the Python 2.7 version.

There are also other installation options that you can find :ref:`here <install>`.

Now that you have rally installed, you are ready to start :ref:`benchmarking OpenStack with it <tutorial_step_1_setting_up_env_and_running_benchmark_from_samples>`!
