You can download a script for a standalone install for proof-of-concept, learning, or for development purposes for Ubuntu 11.04 at https://devstack.org.
Install Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty):
In order to correctly install all the dependencies, we assume a specific version of Ubuntu to make it as easy as possible. OpenStack works on other flavors of Linux (and some folks even run it on Windows!) We recommend using a minimal install of Ubuntu server in a VM if this is your first time.
Download DevStack:
$ git clone git://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git
The devstack repo contains a script that installs OpenStack Compute, the Image Service and the Identity Service and offers templates for configuration files plus data scripts.
Start the install:
$ cd devstack; ./stack.sh
It takes a few minutes, we recommend reading the well-documented script while it is building to learn more about what is going on.
