This guide describes installing Ceph packages manually. This procedure is only for users who are not installing with a deployment tool such as ceph-deploy, chef, juju, etc.
Tip
You can also use ceph-deploy to install Ceph packages, which may be more convenient since you can install ceph on multiple hosts with a single command.
Once you have added either release or development packages to APT, you should update APT’s database and install Ceph:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ceph ceph-mds
To install pre-requisite packages, execute the following:
sudo yum install snappy leveldb gdisk python-argparse gperftools-libs
Once you have added either release or development packages, or added a ceph.repo file to /etc/yum.repos.d, you can install Ceph packages.
sudo yum install ceph
If you build Ceph from source code, you may install Ceph in user space by executing the following:
sudo make install
If you install Ceph locally, make will place the executables in usr/local/bin. You may add the Ceph configuration file to the usr/local/bin directory to run Ceph from a single directory.
