Installing OpenStack has always been challenging. Due to the complexity and varity of design choices involved in setting up OpenStack, automated installers are rare. For those who need a small but realistic setup, to be used either for development or learning, a manual installation using the desired distribution's packages has been the typical solution. Distribution packages simplify the process, however they come with compromises. First, packages are only updated monthly, so the wait for patches is slow. Additionally so far the QA process for the various distributions is a little spotty, so the if a package is broken when the update occurs is may be a month until the problem is fixed. Secondly applying a much needed patch from source may break a package installation or have the patch overwritten when a package update occurs. For those testing or developing OpenStack, using a package based install would be impossible, since the packagers place files in difference locations an
