Assumptions
-----------
Some assumptions that are made about the configuration of your system are noted
below.
It is assumed that...
* ...you already have an OpenStack cloud deployed, for which...
* ...the host from which Tenks is executed (*localhost*) has access to the
OpenStack APIs. These are used for Ironic node enrolment and Nova flavor
registration.
* ...the OpenStack *OS_\** authentication variables are present in
*localhost*'s environment. These can typically be sourced from your
*openrc* file.
* ... a distinct network device (interface or bridge) is present for each
physical network that a hypervisor is connected to.
Pre-Requisites
--------------
Currently, Tenks supports CentOS 7.5.
To avoid conflicts with Python packages installed by the system package manager
it is recommended to install Tenks in a virtualenv. Ensure that the
``virtualenv`` Python module is available. For cloning and working with the
Tenks source code repository, Git is required. These pre-requisites can be
installed with a command such as::
$ yum install --assumeyes python-virtualenv git
Tenks Installation
------------------
Create a virtualenv for Tenks. For example::
$ virtualenv tenks
Activate the virtualenv and update pip::
$ source tenks/bin/activate
(tenks) $ pip install --upgrade pip
Obtain the Tenks source code and change into the directory. For example::
(tenks) $ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/tenks.git
(tenks) $ cd tenks
Install Tenks and its requirements using the source code checkout::
(tenks) $ pip install .
Tenks has dependencies on Ansible roles that are hosted by Ansible Galaxy.
These can be installed by a command such as::
(tenks) $ ansible-galaxy install --role-file=requirements.yml --roles-path=ansible/roles/
If you now wish to run Tenks (see :ref:`run`), keep your virtualenv active. If
not, deactivate it::
(tenks) $ deactivate
