Host setup
**********
Set up the host with the following steps:
#. Update OS:
::
apt-get update
#. Clone the StarlingX tools repository:
::
apt-get install -y git
cd $HOME
git clone https://opendev.org/starlingx/tools.git
#. Install required packages:
::
cd $HOME/tools/deployment/libvirt/
bash install_packages.sh
apt install -y apparmor-profiles
apt-get install -y ufw
ufw disable
ufw status
.. note::
On Ubuntu 16.04, if apparmor-profile modules were installed as shown in
the example above, you must reboot the server to fully install the
apparmor-profile modules.
#. Get the StarlingX ISO. This can be from a private StarlingX build or from
the public `CENGN StarlingX mirror <http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/>`_.
For example, to get the ISO for the StarlingX R2.0 build, use the command
shown below:
::
wget http://mirror.starlingx.cengn.ca/mirror/starlingx/release/2.0.0/centos/outputs/iso/bootimage.iso
