Notes from Installing Swift on Ubuntu 16.04

10 Sep 2016

Here are some notes / scripts I saved from installing Swift from scratch, using chapter 9 of OpenStack Swift.

PLEASE NOTE that this install was on a laptop, so the config is NOT production-oriented.

I created a shell script for each step, and ran those shell scripts in order.

0_INSTALL_PYTHON_DEPS.sh

apt-get install git curl gcc memcached rsync sqlite3 xfsprogs \
	git-core libffi-dev python-setuptools
apt-get install python-coverage python-dev python-nose \
	python-simplejson python-xattr python-eventlet \
	python-greenlet python-pastedeploy python-netifaces \
	python-pip python-dnspython python-mock
apt-get install liberasurecode-dev

### WARNING: Do NOT apt-get this, because it's an older version that
### swift-init proxy will complain about!
pip install pyeclib
