Heat Dashboard installation guide
=================================
This page describes the manual installation of heat-dashboard,
while distribution packages may provide more automated process.
.. note::
This page assumes horizon has been installed.
Horizon setup is beyond the scope of this page.
Install Heat Dashboard with all relevant packages to your Horizon environment.
.. code-block:: console
pip install heat-dashboard
In most cases, heat-dashboard is installed into your python "site-packages"
directory like ``/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages``.
We refer to the directory of heat-dashboard as ``<heat-dashboard-dir>`` below
and it would be ``<site-packages>/heat_dashboard`` if installed via pip.
The path varies depending on Linux distribution you use.
To enable heat-dashboard plugin, you need to put horizon plugin setup files
into horizon "enabled" directory.
The plugin setup files are found in ``<heat-dashboard-dir>/enabled``.
.. code-block:: console
$ cp <heat-dashboard-dir>/enabled/_[1-9]*.py \
/usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/enabled
.. note::
The directory ``local/enabled`` may be different depending on your
environment or distribution used. The path above is one used in Ubuntu
horizon package.
Configure the policy file for heat-dashboard in OpenStack Dashboard
``local_settings.py``.
.. code-block:: python
POLICY_FILES['orchestration'] = '<heat-dashboard-dir>/conf/heat_policy.json'
.. note::
If your ``local_settings.py`` has no ``POLICY_FILES`` yet,
you need to define the default ``POLICY_FILES`` in
``local_settings.py``. If you use the example ``local_settings.py`` file
from horizon, what you need is to uncomment ``POLICY_FILES`` (which contains
the default values).
You can also add additional configurations to ``local_settings.py``.
For more detail, see :doc:`/configuration/configuration`.
You can also find an example file at
``<heat-dashboard-dir>/heat_dashboard/local_settings.d``.
Compile the translation message catalogs of heat-dashboard.
.. code-block:: console
$ cd <heat-dashboard-dir>
$ python ./manage.py compilemessages
Run the Django update commands.
Note that ``compress`` is required when you enable compression.
.. code-block:: console
$ cd <horizon-dir>
$ DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=openstack_dashboard.settings python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
$ DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=openstack_dashboard.settings python manage.py compress --force
Finally, restart your web server. For example, in case of apache:
.. code-block:: console
$ sudo service apache2 restart
