## OpenStackClient (CLI)

11-
The OpenStackClient is installable via all major Linux Distributions (`apt search openstackclient`)
12-
or directly via [pypi](https://pypi.org/project/python-openstackclient). For
13-
further Information see the OpenStack Project upstream website
11+
The OpenStackClient is installable via all major Linux Distributions:
12+
13+
for debian and ubuntu with apt:
14+
15+
```bash
16+
sudo apt install python3-openstackclient
17+
```
18+
19+
for ubuntu with snap openstack CLI is installable too:
20+
21+
```bash
22+
sudo snap install openstackclients
23+
```
24+
25+
>[!NOTE]
26+
>Versions from Linux repository could be in a stable but old state.
27+
28+
Install it directly via [pypi](https://pypi.org/project/python-openstackclient)
29+
from upstream is the recommend way.
30+
31+
Here for example RHEL:
32+
33+
```bash
34+
sudo dnf install python3 python3-devel gcc python3-pip
35+
```
36+
37+
Here for example Debian and Ubuntu:
38+
39+
```bash
40+
sudo apt install python3-minimal python3-pip python3-venv python3-dev build-essential
41+
```
42+
43+
Here as example for SUSE
44+
45+
```bash
46+
sudo zypper in python3-pip python3-venv python3-dev
47+
```
48+
49+
Here for example with Apple's MacOS
50+
51+
```bash
52+
brew install python3
53+
```
54+
55+
>[!NOTE]
56+
>Python installation for windows systems please use the [python installation guide](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/)
57+
>or recommend use the [Linux Subsystem WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/wsl/install)
58+
59+
Python Virtualenv
60+
61+
It is also recommended to use virtual environments, here as an example for
62+
Linux and MacOS:
63+
64+
```bash
65+
python3 -m venv oscli
66+
source oscli/bin/activate
67+
pip install --upgrade pip
68+
pip install python-openstackclient \
69+
python-cinderclient \
70+
python-designateclient \
71+
python-glanceclient \
72+
python-neutronclient \
73+
python-novaclient \
74+
python-octaviaclient \
75+
python-barbicanclient
76+
77+
```
