Getting Started

System Requirements

Swift development currently targets Unbuntu Server 10.04, but should work on most Linux platforms with the following software:

  • Python 2.6
  • rsync 3.0

And the following python libraries:

  • Eventlet 0.9.8
  • Webob 0.9.8
  • Setuptools
  • Simplejson
  • Xattr
  • Nose
  • Sphinx

Development

To get started with development with Swift, or to just play around, the following docs will be useful:

  • Swift All in One <development_saio> - Set up a VM with Swift installed
  • Development Guidelines <development_guidelines>

Production

We do not have documentation yet on how to set up and configure Swift for a production cluster, but hope to begin work on those soon.
