There are multiple ways of installing and running ARIA TOSCA. Specifically, there essentially two different branches of installations: user and developer. Both are documented below.

While the instructions below strive to be complete, we‘re human and make mistakes from time to time. In situations where something doesn’t work as described, do not hesitate to reach out to the community for assistance by sending email to dev@ariatosca.incubator.apache.org

Package-Based PIP Package Installation

ARIA TOSCA is available on PyPI.

ARIA TOSCA requires Python 2.6/2.7. Python 3 is currently not supported.

To install ARIA TOSCA directly from PyPI (using a wheel), use::

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip install apache-ariatosca

Source-based PIP Package Installation

To install ARIA TOSCA from source, download the source tarball from PyPI, extract and cd into the extract dir, and run::

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
pip install .

| The source package comes along with relevant examples, documentation, requirements.txt (for installing specifically the frozen dependencies' versions with which ARIA TOSCA was tested) and more. | | | ARIA TOSCA has additional optional dependencies. These are required for running operations over SSH. | Below are instructions on how to install these dependencies, including required system dependencies per OS. | | Note: These dependencies may have varying licenses which may not be compatible with Apache license 2.0. |

Ubuntu/Debian (tested on Ubuntu14.04, Ubuntu16.04)::

apt-get install -y python-dev gcc libffi-dev libssl-dev 
pip install apache-ariatosca[ssh]

Centos (tested on Centos6.6, Centos7)::

yum install -y python-devel gcc libffi-devel openssl-devel 
pip install apache-ariatosca[ssh]

Archlinux::

pacman -Syu --noconfirm python2 gcc libffi openssl
pip2 install apache-ariatosca[ssh]

Windows (tested on Win10)::

# no additional system requirements are needed
pip install apache-ariatosca[ssh]

MacOS::

# TODO

To install pip, either use your distro's package management system, or run::

wget http://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py

Developer Installation

Developers will want to pull their base code from github and then build from that locally. Note there are two code repositories for ARIA TOSCA: one for the website and one for the main code base. Instructions for pulling and running each are detailed below.

Ubuntu/Debian (tested on Ubuntu14.04, Ubuntu16.04):

apt-get install -y python-dev gcc libffi-dev libssl-dev git

# In addition to the above, install the following for website development
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo gem install jekyll bundler
# you may have to install jekyll's dependancies 
bundle install

Centos (tested on Centos6.6, Centos7):

yum install -y python-devel gcc libffi-devel openssl-devel 

# In addition to the above, install the following for website development
sudo yum install ruby-dev
sudo gem install jekyll bundler
# you may have to install jekyll's dependancies 
bundle install

Building from your pulled code :

Running The Generated Website

The website is created using the Jekyll system. Launch the web server using the following and then browse to the URL indicated by jekyll's output:

bundle exec jekyll serve

“Hello World” Example

This section will describe how to run a simple “Hello World” example.

First, provide ARIA TOSCA with the ARIA TOSCA“hello world” template (can be downloaded here) service-template and name it (e.g. my-service-template):

aria service-templates store examples/hello-world/hello-world.yaml my-service-template

Now create a service based on this service-template and name it (e.g. my-service):

aria services create my-service -t my-service-template

Finally, start an install workflow execution on my-service like so:

aria executions start install -s my-service

You should now have a simple web-server running on your local machine. You can try visiting http://localhost:9090 to view your deployed application.

To uninstall and clean your environment, follow these steps:

aria executions start uninstall -s my-service
aria services delete my-service
aria service-templates delete my-service-template
