Installation of OpenStack Image Service is simply achieved by using the packages provided from the Ubuntu repositories. If you followed the guide in Chapter 1, Starting OpenStack Compute, we already installed and configured OpenStack Image Service appropriately for our test setup, but as OpenStack has been designed so that the components and services can be deployed across multiple machines, we will go through the steps here to specifically set up the service.
To begin with, ensure you are logged in to the server on which you want to install OpenStack Image Service.
Installation of OpenStack Image Service is very simple, using apt. We do this as follows:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install glance
To install just the client that allows us to administer and use OpenStack Image Service without needing to log onto our server, we do the following:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install glance-client
