+Dovetail Installation
+=====================
+
+Abstract
+========
+
+Dovetail currently supports installation on Ubuntu 14.04 or by using a docker image.
+Detailed steps about installing dovetail can be found below.
+
+To use dovetail you should have access to an OpenStack environment,
+with at least Nova, Neutron, Glance, Keystone and Heat installed.
+
+
+Run dovetail on local machine
+=============================
+
+The steps needed to run dovetail on Ubuntu are:
+
+1. Download source code and prepare environment.
+2. Create certification configuration file.
+3. Run certification.
+
+
+Download dovetail and prepare environment
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The source code of dovetail can be got from Gerrit:
+
+::
+
+  git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/dovetail
+
+After that you need to prepare the environment which means install some tools,
+modules and anything else dovetail needs. A file named ``prepare_env.py`` can
+do all of these for you.
+
+::
+
+  cd dovetail/dovetail/
+  python prepare_env.py
+
+Now the environment should be prepared for running the certification.
+
+Besides, you may want to install it in a python virtualenv, that is beyond the scope
+of this installation instruction.
+
+Create certification configuration file
+---------------------------------------
+
+You can wirte a certification configuration file with the format of yaml,
+which can be defined to meet your own requirements. The yaml file should
+be located in the folder ``dovetail/dovetail/cert``. There provide a sample
+file named ``basic.yml``.
+
+::
+
+  certification_basic:
+    name: certification_basic
+    testcase_list:
+      - dovetail.ipv6.tc001
+
+As you can see, the configuration file combines the testcases you want to run
+together, and all of them should already been defined in ``dovetail/dovetail/testcase``.
+The name of the configuration file should be certification_%s, where %s (here is basic)
+can be used to run this certification.
+
+
+Run the certification
+---------------------
+
+When you get the dovetail source code, prepare the environment and define the
+certification configuration file, you can then run the certification. Take
+certification_basic as the example. You can run it using the file ``run.py`` with
+basic (scenario name) as its argument.
+
+::
+
+  python run.py --scenario basic
+
+If you did not give an argument, it will be default set as basic.
+
+
+Run dovetail on Docker container
+================================
+
+steps:
+1. pull image
+2. run container
+3. config
+4. run testcase
+
+pull image
+----------
+
+Get the latest docker image from docker hub.
+
+::
+ sudo docker pull opnfv/dovetail:latest
+
+run container
+-------------
+
+Start a container from the image that you just pulled.
+
+::
+ sudo docker run -it --privileged=true -v /home/opnfv/dovetail/results:/home/opnfv/dovetail/results
+ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock opnfv/dovetail:latest "/bin/bash"
+
+config
+------
+
+For now, we need only change value of ``INSTALLER_TYPE`` and ``INSTALLER_IP``
+of the variable ``envs`` to your own environment.
+
+::
+ sudo docker exec -it $(CONTAINER_ID) "/bin/bash"
+ vi /home/opnfv/dovetail/dovetail/conf/functest_config.yml
+ vi /home/opnfv/dovetail/dovetail/conf/yardstick_config.yml
+
+run testcase
+------------
+
+In docker, you just run following cmds to execute the testcase.
+
+::
+ cd /home/opnfv/dovetail/dovetail
+ python run.py
+
+
+
+
+Output
+======
+
+The running log is stored in ``/home/opnfv/dovetail/results/dovetail.log``.
+The report of certification is stored in ``/home/opnfv/dovetail/results/dovetail_report.txt``.
