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 Ceph with RPMs, execute the following steps:
Install yum-plugin-priorities.
sudo yum install yum-plugin-priorities
Ensure /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf exists.
Ensure priorities.conf enables the plugin.
[main]
enabled = 1
Ensure your YUM ceph.repo entry includes priority=2. See Get Packages for details:
[ceph]
name=Ceph packages for $basearch
baseurl=http://ceph.com/rpm-{ceph-release}/{distro}/$basearch
enabled=1
priority=2
gpgcheck=1
type=rpm-md
gpgkey=https://ceph.com/git/?p=ceph.git;a=blob_plain;f=keys/release.asc
[ceph-noarch]
name=Ceph noarch packages
baseurl=http://ceph.com/rpm-{ceph-release}/{distro}/noarch
enabled=1
priority=2
gpgcheck=1
type=rpm-md
gpgkey=https://ceph.com/git/?p=ceph.git;a=blob_plain;f=keys/release.asc
[ceph-source]
name=Ceph source packages
baseurl=http://ceph.com/rpm-{ceph-release}/{distro}/SRPMS
enabled=0
priority=2
gpgcheck=1
type=rpm-md
gpgkey=https://ceph.com/git/?p=ceph.git;a=blob_plain;f=keys/release.asc
Install pre-requisite packages:
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.
