Trove Installation

Trove is constantly under development. The easiest way to install Trove is using the Trove integration scripts that can be found in git in the Trove Repository.

Steps to set up a Trove Developer Environment

Installing trove

• Install a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) image (preferably a virtual machine)

• Make sure we have git installed:

  # apt-get update
  # apt-get install git -y
  

• Add a user named ubuntu if you do not already have one:

  # adduser ubuntu
  

• Set the ubuntu user up with sudo access:

  # visudo
  

  Add ubuntu ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL to the sudoers file.

• Login with ubuntu:

  # su ubuntu
  # mkdir -p /opt/stack
  # cd /opt/stack
  

• Clone this repo:

  # git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/trove.git
  

• cd into the scripts directory:

  # cd trove/integration/scripts/
  

It is important to understand that this process is different now with the elements and scripts being part of the trove repository. In the past, one could clone trove-integration into the home directory and run trovestack from there, and it would clone trove in the right place. And if you were making changes in trove-integration, it didn’t really matter where trove-integration was; it could be in home directory or /opt/stack, or for that matter, anywhere. This is no longer the case. If you are making changes to trove and would like to run the trovestack script, you have to be sure that trove is in fact cloned in /opt/stack as shown above.

Running trovestack to setup Trove

Now you run trovestack to help setup your development environment. For complete details about the trovestack script refer to trove/integration/README.md
