Prerequisites

First, install the prerequisite libraries. See the Prereqs? page for more information.

Bcfg2

Before installing, you will need to choose a machine to be the Bcfg2 server. We recommend a Linux-based machine for this purpose, but the server will work on any supported operating system. Note that you may eventually want to run a web server on this machine for reporting and serving up package repositories.

• From packages: The easiest way to install Bcfg2 is from packages for your operating system. You can grab packages (and source packages) for various OSes from the Download page. Install them as you would any other packages. The server package only needs to be installed on your designated Bcfg2 server machine; the clients package needs to be installed on any machine you plan to manage by Bcfg2.
• From source: The Bcfg2 source tarball can also be grabbed from the Download page. After untarring the file, you can build Bcfg2 with python setup.py install --prefix=/install/prefix This will install both the client and server on that machine.

Configuration

Once Bcfg2 is installed, head over to the QuickStart? to get it configured and up-and-running.
