47 Installation of the software
48 ============================
50 To install, simply do ``./configure --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc && \
51 make && make install``
53 This will install the software under /usr/local. You then need to copy
54 ganeti.init to /etc/init.d/ganeti and integrate it into your boot sequence
55 (``chkconfig``, ``update-rc.d``, etc.).
58 Cluster initialisation
59 ======================
61 Before initialising the cluster, on each node you need to create the following
65 - /srv/ganeti, /srv/ganeti/os, /srv/ganeti/export
67 After this, use ``gnt-cluster init``.
