Installing Watcher
==================
This document describes how to install Watcher in order to use it. If you are
intending to develop on or with Watcher, please read :doc:`../dev/environment`.
Prerequisites
-------------
The source install instructions specifically avoid using platform specific
packages, instead using the source for the code and the Python Package Index
(PyPi_).
.. _PyPi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi
It's expected that your system already has python2.7_, latest version of pip_,
and git_ available.
.. _python2.7: http://www.python.org
.. _pip: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html
.. _git: http://git-scm.com/
Your system shall also have some additional system libraries:
On Ubuntu (tested on 14.04LTS):
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev libssl-dev libmysqlclient-dev libffi-dev
On Fedora-based distributions e.g., Fedora/RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux
(tested on CentOS 7.1):
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo yum install gcc python-devel openssl-devel libffi-devel mysql-devel
Installing from Source
----------------------
Clone the Watcher repository:
.. code-block:: bash
$ git clone https://git.openstack.org/openstack/watcher.git
$ cd watcher
Install the Watcher modules:
.. code-block:: bash
# python setup.py install
The following commands should be available on the command-line path:
* ``watcher-api`` the Watcher Web service used to handle RESTful requests
* ``watcher-decision-engine`` the Watcher Decision Engine used to build action
plans, according to optimization goals to achieve.
* ``watcher-applier`` the Watcher Applier module, used to apply action plan
* ``watcher-db-manage`` used to bootstrap Watcher data
You will find sample configuration files in ``etc/watcher``:
* ``watcher.conf.sample``
Install the Watcher modules dependencies:
.. code-block:: bash
# pip install -r requirements.txt
From here, refer to :doc:`configuration` to declare Watcher as a new service
into Keystone and to configure its different modules. Once configured, you
should be able to run the Watcher services by issuing these commands:
.. code-block:: bash
$ watcher-api
$ watcher-decision-engine
$ watcher-applier
By default, this will show logging on the console from which it was started.
Once started, you can use the `Watcher Client`_ to play with Watcher service.
.. _`Watcher Client`: https://git.openstack.org/openstack/python-watcherclient.git
Installing from packages: PyPI
--------------------------------
Watcher package is available on PyPI repository. To install Watcher on your
system:
.. code-block:: bash
$ sudo pip install python-watcher
The Watcher services along with its dependencies should then be automatically
installed on your system.
Once installed, you still need to declare Watcher as a new service into
Keystone and to configure its different modules, which you can find described
in :doc:`configuration`.
