While we have defined, and you have presumably already installed the bootstrap prerequisites, there are a number of build time prerequisites that need to be resolved. &PRODUCT; uses maven for dependency resolution. You can resolve the buildtime depdencies for CloudStack by running the following command: $ mvn -P deps Now that we have resolved the dependencies we can move on to building &PRODUCT; and packaging them into RPMs by issuing the following command. $ ./waf rpm Once this completes, you should find assembled RPMs in artifacts/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64

While RPMs is an ideal packaging format - it's most easily consumed from yum repositories over a network. We'll move into the directory with the newly created RPMs by issuing the following command: $ cd artifacts/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64 Next we'll issue a command to create the repository metadata by issuing the following command: $ createrepo ./ The files and directories within our current working directory can now be uploaded to a web server and serve as a yum repository

Now that your yum repository is populated with RPMs and metadata we need to configure our machines that need to install CloudStack. We will create a file at /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudstack.repo with the following content: [apache-cloudstack] name=Apache CloudStack baseurl=http://webserver.tld/path/to/repo enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 Completing this step will allow you to easily install CloudStack on a number of machines across the network.
