Installation

============

Before installing snf-image be sure to have a working Ganeti installation in

your cluster. The installation process should take place in **all** ganeti

nodes. Here we will describe the installation in a single node. The process is

identical for all nodes and should be repeated manually or automatically, e.g.,

with puppet.

Installing snf-image using packages

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

For Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu we provide packages in our apt repository.

For Debian Squeeze add the following lines to ``/etc/apt/sources.list`` file:

``deb http://apt.dev.grnet.gr squeeze/``

``deb-src http://apt.dev.grnet.gr squeeze/``

For Debian Wheezy add the following lines:

``deb http://apt.dev.grnet.gr wheezy/``

For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS add the following lines:

``deb http://apt.dev.grnet.gr precise/``

After you update ``/etc/apt/sources.list`` import the repo's GPG key:

.. code-block:: console

  $ curl https://dev.grnet.gr/files/apt-grnetdev.pub | apt-key add -

To install the package use the following commands:

.. code-block:: console

The last command will also download and install the *snf-image-helper* image in

the post install phase of the package installation.
