This guide describes how to install snf-image-creator on a Linux system. It is |
5 |
highly recommended to have virtualization capable hardware. snf-image-creator |
6 |
will work on processors that do not support virtualization but it will be slow. |

34 |
|
35 |
Debian |
36 |
------ |
37 |
|
38 |
For *Debian 7.0 (wheezy)* you can use our official packages found in our |
39 |
development repository. |
40 |

43 |
.. code-block:: console |
44 |
|
45 |
deb http://apt.dev.grnet.gr wheezy/ |
46 |
|
47 |

50 |
|
51 |
$ sudo apt-get update |
52 |
|
53 |

Install snf-image-creator from source |
218 |
===================================== |
219 |
|
220 |
Manually install the following dependencies: |
221 |
|
222 |
* Python 2 [http://www.python.org/] |
223 |
* Python setuptools [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools] |

227 |
* pyparted [https://fedorahosted.org/pyparted/] |
228 |
* rsync [http://rsync.samba.org/] |
229 |
|
230 |
In Ubuntu you can do this using: |
231 |
|
232 |
.. code-block:: console |
233 |
|
234 |
$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-guestfs python-dialog \ |
235 |
python-sendfile python-parted rsync |
236 |
|
237 |
If you are using Ubuntu 12.10 you also need to install libguestfs-tools: |
238 |
|
239 |
.. code-block:: console |
240 |
|
241 |
$ sudo apt-get install libguestfs-tools |
242 |
|
243 |
.. note:: |
244 |
If you are asked during the installation to create/update a |
245 |
"supermin appliance", choose "Yes". |
246 |
|
247 |
Python Virtual Environment |
248 |
-------------------------- |
249 |
|
250 |
Since snf-image-creator and the rest of its dependencies won't be installed |
251 |
using packages, it's better to work in an isolated python virtual environment |
252 |
(virtualenv). |
253 |
|
254 |
Install the Virtual Python Environment builder: |
255 |
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv. |
256 |
|
257 |
For Ubuntu use the following command: |
258 |
|
259 |
.. code-block:: console |
260 |
|
261 |
$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv |
262 |
|
263 |
Then create a new python virtual environment: |
264 |
|
265 |
.. code-block:: console |
266 |
|
267 |
$ virtualenv --system-site-packages ~/image-creator-env |
268 |
|
269 |
and activate it by executing: |
270 |
|
271 |
.. code-block:: console |
272 |
|
273 |
$ source ~/image-creator-env/bin/activate |
274 |
|
275 |
You may later deactivate it using: |
276 |
|
277 |
.. code-block:: console |
278 |
|
279 |
$ deactivate |
280 |
|
281 |
kamaki Installation |
282 |
------------------- |
283 |
|
284 |
Refer to `./kamaki documentation <http://docs.dev.grnet.gr/kamaki/latest/installation.html>`_ |
285 |
for instructions. You may install kamaki from source inside the virtualenv |
286 |
you've created above or by using binary packages if they are available for your |
287 |
distribution. |
288 |
|
289 |
snf-image-creator Installation |
290 |
------------------------------ |
291 |
|
292 |
Download the latest snf-image-creator source package from |
293 |
`here <https://code.grnet.gr/projects/snf-image-creator/files>`_ and install it |
294 |
inside the virtualenv using the following commands: |
295 |
|
296 |
.. code-block:: console |
297 |
|
298 |
$ tar -xf snf_image_creator-<VERSION>.tar.gz |
299 |
$ cd snf_image_creator-<VERSION> |
300 |
$ python ./setup.py install |
301 |
|
302 |
Alternatively, you can install the bleeding edge version of the software by |
303 |
cloning its git repository: |
304 |
|
305 |
.. code-block:: console |
306 |
|
307 |
$ git clone https://code.grnet.gr/git/snf-image-creator |
308 |
$ cd snf-image-creator |
309 |
$ python ./setup.py install |
310 |
|
311 |
To do the latter, you'll need to have git (http://git-scm.com/) installed. |
312 |
For ubuntu this can be done using: |
313 |
|
314 |
.. code-block:: console |
315 |
|
316 |
$ sudo apt-get install git |
317 |
|
318 |
.. warning:: |
319 |
Keep in mind that the bleeding edge version may be unstable or even |
320 |
unusable. |
321 |
