Getting Started
===============
-------------------
System Requirements
-------------------
Swift development currently targets Ubuntu Server 10.04, but should work on
most Linux platforms with the following software:
* Python 2.6
* rsync 3.0
And the following python libraries:
* Eventlet 0.9.8
* Setuptools
* Simplejson
* Xattr
* Nose
* Sphinx
* Netifaces
* Dnspython
* Pastedeploy
-------------
Getting Swift
-------------
Swift's source code is hosted on github and managed with git. The current trunk can be checked out like this:
``git clone https://github.com/openstack/swift.git``
A source tarball for the latest release of Swift is available on the `launchpad project page <https://launchpad.net/swift>`_.
Prebuilt packages for Ubuntu are available starting with Natty, or from PPAs for earlier releases.
* `Swift Ubuntu Packages <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/swift>`_
* `Swift PPA Archive <https://launchpad.net/~swift-core/+archive/release>`_
-----------
Development
-----------
To get started with development with Swift, or to just play around, the
following docs will be useful:
* :doc:`Swift All in One <development_saio>` - Set up a VM with Swift installed
* :doc:`Development Guidelines <development_guidelines>`
----------
Production
