OpenStack packages¶

Distributions release OpenStack packages as part of the distribution or using other methods because of differing release schedules. Perform these procedures on all nodes.

Note

The set up of OpenStack packages described here needs to be done on all nodes: controller, compute, and Block Storage nodes.

Warning

Your hosts must contain the latest versions of base installation packages available for your distribution before proceeding further.

Note

Disable or remove any automatic update services because they can impact your OpenStack environment.

Enable the OpenStack repository¶

# apt install software-properties-common
# add-apt-repository cloud-archive:ocata

Finalize the installation¶

Upgrade the packages on all nodes:
```
# apt update && apt dist-upgrade
```
Note

If the upgrade process includes a new kernel, reboot your host to activate it.
Install the OpenStack client:
```
# apt install python-openstackclient
```
