2.4.3. Install the Management Server on the First Host

The first step in installation, whether you are installing the Management Server on one host or many, is to install the software on a single node.

Note

If you are planning to install the Management Server on multiple nodes for high availability, do not proceed to the additional nodes yet. That step will come later.
The CloudStack Management server can be installed using either RPM or DEB packages. These packages will depend on everything you need to run the Management server.

2.4.3.1. Install on CentOS/RHEL

We start by installing the required packages:
yum install cloud-client

2.4.3.2. Install on Ubuntu

apt-get install cloud-client
