17
  running on KVM. In order to use advanced features, such as live
18
  migration, virtio, etc, an even newer version is recommended (qemu-kvm
19
  versions 0.11.X or above have shown good behavior).

These programs are supplied as part of most Linux distributions, so
36
usually they can be installed via the standard package manager. Also
37
many of them will already be installed on a standard machine. On
38
Debian/Ubuntu, you can use this command line to install all required
39
packages, except for DRBD and Xen::
40

    
41
  $ apt-get install lvm2 ssh bridge-utils iproute iputils-arping \
42
                    python python-pyopenssl openssl python-pyparsing \
43
                    python-simplejson python-pyinotify python-pycurl \
44
                    socat
45

    
46
If you want to build from source, please see doc/devnotes.rst for more
47
dependencies.

Installation of the software
51
----------------------------
52

    
53
To install, simply run the following command::
54

    
55
  ./configure --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc && \
56
  make && \
57
  make install
58

    
59
This will install the software under ``/usr/local``. You then need to
60
copy ``doc/examples/ganeti.initd`` to ``/etc/init.d/ganeti`` and
61
integrate it into your boot sequence (``chkconfig``, ``update-rc.d``,
62
etc.).
63

    
64

    
65
Cluster initialisation
66
----------------------
67

    
68
Before initialising the cluster, on each node you need to create the
69
following directories:
70

    
71
- ``/etc/ganeti``
72
- ``/var/lib/ganeti``
73
- ``/var/log/ganeti``
74
- ``/srv/ganeti``
75
- ``/srv/ganeti/os``
76
- ``/srv/ganeti/export``
77

    
78
After this, use ``gnt-cluster init``.
