Setting Up a Development Environment
====================================
This page describes how to setup a working Python development
environment that can be used in developing Neutron on Ubuntu, Fedora or
Mac OS X. These instructions assume you're already familiar with
Git and Gerrit, which is a code repository mirror and code review toolset
, however if you aren't please see `this Git tutorial`_ for an introduction
to using Git and `this wiki page`_ for a tutorial on using Gerrit and Git for
code contribution to Openstack projects.
.. _this Git tutorial: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started
.. _this wiki page: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Gerrit_Workflow
Following these instructions will allow you to run the Neutron unit
tests. If you want to be able to run Neutron in a full OpenStack environment,
you can use the excellent `DevStack`_ project to do so. There is a wiki page
that describes `setting up Neutron using DevStack`_.

Getting the code
----------------
Grab the code from GitHub::
git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/neutron.git
cd neutron
.. include:: ../../../TESTING.rst
