These are the basic commands to enter into your Terminal app or equivalent just to install Python-pip. Installation of Python-pip then allows you to install the source packages for the various openstack client APIs.

Different operating system versions may have variations to the installation procedure. We recommend you use the most up-to-date OS version available.
