These programs are supplied as part of most Linux distributions, so
usually they can be installed via the standard package manager. Also
$ apt-get install lvm2 ssh bridge-utils iproute iputils-arping \
ndisc6 python python-pyopenssl openssl \
- python-pyparsing python-simplejson \
- python-pyinotify python-pycurl socat fping
+ python-pyparsing python-simplejson python-bitarray \
+ python-pyinotify python-pycurl python-ipaddr socat fping
+
+If bitarray is missing it can be installed from easy-install::
+
+ $ easy_install bitarray
+
+Or on newer distributions (eg. Debian Wheezy) the above becomes::
+
+ $ apt-get install lvm2 ssh bridge-utils iproute iputils-arping \
+ ndisc6 python python-openssl openssl \
+ python-pyparsing python-simplejson python-bitarray \
+ python-pyinotify python-pycurl python-ipaddr socat fping
Note that this does not install optional packages::
you can try installing them using ``easy_install`` command.
For example::
- $ apt-get install python-setuptools
+ $ apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev
$ cd / && sudo easy_install \
- affinity
+ affinity \
+ bitarray \
+ ipaddr
On Fedora to install all required packages except RBD, DRBD and Xen::
$ yum install openssh openssh-clients bridge-utils iproute ndisc6 \
pyOpenSSL pyparsing python-simplejson python-inotify \
- python-lxm socat fping
+ python-lxm socat fping python-bitarray python-ipaddr
For optional packages use the command::
distributions need to apply the patches on their own.
Ganeti will use the option if it's detected by the ``configure``
- script; auto-detection can be disabled by explicitely passing

``--enable-socat-compress`` (use the option to disable compression) or
``--disable-socat-compress`` (don't use the option).
Haskell requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-If you want to enable the `htools` component, which is recommended on
-bigger deployments (this give you automatic instance placement, cluster
-balancing, etc.), then you need to have a Haskell compiler installed on
-your build machine (but this is not required on the machines which are
-just going to run Ganeti). More specifically:
+Starting with Ganeti 2.7, the Haskell GHC compiler and a few base
+libraries are required in order to build Ganeti (but not to run and
+deploy Ganeti on production machines). More specifically:
- `GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/>`_ version 6.12 or higher
- or even better, `The Haskell Platform
network library
- `parallel <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/parallel>`_, a parallel
programming library (note: tested with up to version 3.x)
-- `curl <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/curl>`_, bindings for the
- curl library, only needed if you want these tools to connect to remote
- clusters (as opposed to the local one)
- `bytestring <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring>`_ and
`utf8-string <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/utf8-string>`_
libraries; these usually come with the GHC compiler
+- `deepseq <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/deepseq>`_
+- `curl <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/curl>`_, tested with
+ versions 1.3.4 and above
-All of these are also available as package in Debian/Ubuntu::
+Some of these are also available as package in Debian/Ubuntu::
$ apt-get install ghc6 libghc6-json-dev libghc6-network-dev \
- libghc6-parallel-dev libghc6-curl-dev
+ libghc6-parallel-dev libghc6-deepseq-dev \
+ libghc6-curl-dev
-Or in Fedora running::
+Or in newer versions of these distributions (using GHC 7.x)::
- $ yum install ghc ghc-json-devel ghc-network-devel ghc-parallel-devel
+ $ apt-get install ghc libghc-json-dev libghc-network-dev \
+ libghc-parallel-dev libghc-deepseq-dev \
+ libghc-utf8-string-dev libghc-curl-dev
-The most recent Fedora doesn't provide ``ghc-curl``. So this needs to be
-installed using ``cabal`` or alternatively htools can be build without
-curl support.
+In Fedora, some of them are available via packages as well::
-Note that more recent version have switched to GHC 7.x and the packages
-were renamed::
-
- $ apt-get install ghc libghc-json-dev libghc-network-dev \
- libghc-parallel-dev libghc-curl-dev
+ $ yum install ghc ghc-json-devel ghc-network-devel \
+ ghc-parallel-devel ghc-deepseq-devel
If using a distribution which does not provide them, first install
-the Haskell platform. You can also install ``cabal`` manualy::
+the Haskell platform. You can also install ``cabal`` manually::
$ apt-get install cabal-install
+ $ cabal update
-Then install the additional libraries via
-``cabal``::
+Then install the additional libraries (only the ones not available in your
+distribution packages) via ``cabal``::
- $ cabal install json network parallel curl
+ $ cabal install json network parallel utf8-string curl
-The compilation of the htools components is automatically enabled when
-the compiler and the requisite libraries are found. You can use the
-``--enable-htools`` configure flag to force the selection (at which
-point ``./configure`` will fail if it doesn't find the prerequisites).
+Haskell optional features
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-In Ganeti version 2.6, one of the daemons (``ganeti-confd``) is shipped
-in two versions: the Python default version (which has no extra
-dependencies), and an experimental Haskell version. This latter version
-can be enabled via the ``./configure`` flag ``--enable-confd=haskell``
-and a few has extra dependencies:
+Optionally, more functionality can be enabled if your build machine has
+a few more Haskell libraries enabled: the ``ganeti-confd`` and
+``ganeti-luxid`` daemon (``--enable-confd``) and the monitoring daemon
+(``--enable-mond``). The list of extra dependencies for these is:
- `hslogger <http://software.complete.org/hslogger>`_, version 1.1 and
above (note that Debian Squeeze only has version 1.0.9)
- `Crypto <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Crypto>`_, tested with
version 4.2.4
- `text <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/text>`_
-- `hinotify <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hinotify>`_
-
-These libraries are available in Debian Wheezy (but not in Squeeze), so
-you can use either apt::
+- `hinotify <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hinotify>`_, tested with
+ version 0.3.2
+- `regex-pcre <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/regex-pcre>`_,
+ bindings for the ``pcre`` library
+- `attoparsec <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/attoparsec>`_
+- `vector <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/vector>`_
+- `snap-server` <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/snap-server>`_, version
+ 0.8.1 and above.
+- `process <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/process>`_, version 1.0.1.1 and
+ above
+
+These libraries are available in Debian Wheezy (but not in Squeeze), so you
+can use either apt::
$ apt-get install libghc-hslogger-dev libghc-crypto-dev libghc-text-dev \
- libghc-hinotify-dev
+ libghc-hinotify-dev libghc-regex-pcre-dev \
+ libghc-attoparsec-dev libghc-vector-dev \
+ libghc-snap-server-dev
-or ``cabal``::
+or ``cabal``, after installing a required non-Haskell dependency::
- $ cabal install hslogger Crypto text hinotify
+ $ apt-get install libpcre3-dev
+ $ cabal install hslogger Crypto text hinotify==0.3.2 regex-pcre \
+ attoparsec vector snap-server
to install them.
+In case you still use ghc-6.12, note that ``cabal`` would automatically try to
+install newer versions of some of the libraries snap-server depends on, that
+cannot be compiled with ghc-6.12, so you have to install snap-server on its
+own, esplicitly forcing the installation of compatible versions::
+
+ $ cabal install MonadCatchIO-transformers==0.2.2.0 mtl==2.0.1.0 \
+ hashable==1.1.2.0 case-insensitive==0.3 parsec==3.0.1 \
+ network==2.3 snap-server==0.8.1
+
+The most recent Fedora doesn't provide ``crypto``, ``inotify``. So these
+need to be installed using ``cabal``, if desired. The other packages can
+be installed via ``yum``::
+
+ $ yum install ghc-hslogger-devel ghc-text-devel \
+ ghc-regex-pcre-devel
+
