## Requirements
|
|
|
|
### Source Host
|
|
|
|
This is the machine you use to configure the target hosts.
|
|
|
|
* /bin/sh: A posix like shell (for instance bash, dash, zsh)
|
|
* Python (>= 3.2 required)
|
|
* SSH client
|
|
* Asciidoc (for building the manpages)
|
|
|
|
### Target Hosts
|
|
|
|
* /bin/sh: A posix like shell (for instance bash, dash, zsh)
|
|
* SSH server
|
|
|
|
## Python Installation
|
|
|
|
Ensure you have Python 3.2 installed on the machine you use to **deploy to the targets**
|
|
(the ***source host***).
|
|
|
|
### Archlinux
|
|
|
|
Archlinux includes a recent python in the extra repository.
|
|
You can install it using
|
|
|
|
pacman -S python
|
|
|
|
### CentOS
|
|
|
|
See the "From source" section
|
|
|
|
#### Debian
|
|
|
|
For Debian **wheezy** or newer:
|
|
|
|
aptitude install python3
|
|
|
|
On **squeeze** you can add following line in **/etc/apt/sources.list**
|
|
|
|
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main
|
|
|
|
And add pinning entry in **/etc/apt/preferences.d/wheezy**:
|
|
|
|
Package: *
|
|
Pin: release n=wheezy
|
|
Pin-Priority: 1
|
|
|
|
Please be aware that both **openssh-server** and **openssh-client** might be
|
|
removed on **python3.2** installation. You surely want to reinstall them:
|
|
|
|
apt-get install -t wheezy openssh-server openssh-client
|
|
|
|
For older Debian versions, installing python 3.2 from source is required.
|
|
|
|
### Fedora
|
|
|
|
Fedora 15 and newer includes a recent python.
|
|
You can install it using
|
|
|
|
yum install python3
|
|
|
|
### FreeBSD
|
|
|
|
For the port:
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/ports/lang/python32/ && make install clean
|
|
|
|
For the package:
|
|
|
|
pkg_add -r python32
|
|
|
|
You can also use any newer version, but at least python 3.2 is required.
|
|
|
|
### Gentoo
|
|
|
|
Gentoo only provides python 3.2 in testing packages (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=3).
|
|
If you want to ensure nothing breaks you must set back the python version to what was default before.
|
|
|
|
emerge -av =python-3.2.2 --autounmask-write
|
|
emerge -av =python-3.2.2
|
|
eselect python list
|
|
eselect python list set python3.2
|
|
|
|
### Max OS X
|
|
|
|
You can choose between Homebrew and Macports, either way works:
|
|
|
|
[Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) variant:
|
|
|
|
brew install python3
|
|
|
|
[Macports](http://www.macports.org/install.php) variant:
|
|
|
|
port install python32
|
|
ln -s /opt/local/bin/python3.2 /opt/local/bin/python3
|
|
|
|
### From Source
|
|
|
|
For those operating systems not yet support Python 3.2:
|
|
|
|
pyversion=3.2.3
|
|
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/$pyversion/Python-${pyversion}.tar.bz2
|
|
tar xvfj Python-${pyversion}.tar.bz2
|
|
cd Python-${pyversion}
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
This installs python 3.2 to /usr/local/bin. Ensure this directory is in
|
|
your PATH environment variable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install cdist
|
|
|
|
You can clone cdist from git, which gives you the advantage of having
|
|
a version control in place for development of your own stuff as well.
|
|
To install cdist, execute the following commands:
|
|
|
|
git clone git://git.schottelius.org/cdist
|
|
cd cdist
|
|
export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd -P)/bin
|
|
|
|
# If you want the manpages
|
|
./build man
|
|
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$(pwd -P)/doc/man
|
|
|
|
|
|
