+==============================
+ Install Ceph Storage Cluster
+==============================
+
+This guide describes installing Ceph packages manually. This procedure
+is only for users who are not installing with a deployment tool such as
+``ceph-deploy``, ``chef``, ``juju``, etc. 
+
+.. tip:: You can also use ``ceph-deploy`` to install Ceph packages, which may
+   be more convenient since you can install ``ceph`` on multiple hosts with
+   a single command.
+
+
+Installing with APT
+===================
+
+Once you have added either release or development packages to APT, you should
+update APT's database and install Ceph::
+
+	sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ceph ceph-mds
+
+
+Installing with RPM
+===================
+
+To install Ceph with RPMs, execute the following steps:
+
+
+#. Install ``yum-plugin-priorities``. ::
+
+	sudo yum install yum-plugin-priorities
+
+#. Ensure ``/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf`` exists.
+
+#. Ensure ``priorities.conf`` enables the plugin. :: 
+
+	[main]
+	enabled = 1
+
+#. Ensure your YUM ``ceph.repo`` entry includes ``priority=2``. See
+   `Get Packages`_ for details::
+
+	[ceph]
+	name=Ceph packages for $basearch
+	baseurl=https://download.ceph.com/rpm-{ceph-release}/{distro}/$basearch
+	enabled=1
+	priority=2
+	gpgcheck=1
+	gpgkey=https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc
+
+	[ceph-noarch]
+	name=Ceph noarch packages
+	baseurl=https://download.ceph.com/rpm-{ceph-release}/{distro}/noarch
+	enabled=1
+	priority=2
+	gpgcheck=1
+	gpgkey=https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc
+
+	[ceph-source]
+	name=Ceph source packages
+	baseurl=https://download.ceph.com/rpm-{ceph-release}/{distro}/SRPMS
+	enabled=0
+	priority=2
+	gpgcheck=1
+	gpgkey=https://download.ceph.com/keys/release.asc
+
+
+#. Install pre-requisite packages::  
+
+	sudo yum install snappy leveldb gdisk python-argparse gperftools-libs
+
+
+Once you have added either release or development packages, or added a
+``ceph.repo`` file to ``/etc/yum.repos.d``, you can install Ceph packages. :: 
+
+	sudo yum install ceph
+
+
+Installing a Build
+==================
+
+If you build Ceph from source code, you may install Ceph in user space
+by executing the following:: 
+
+	sudo make install
+
+If you install Ceph locally, ``make`` will place the executables in
+``usr/local/bin``. You may add the Ceph configuration file to the
+``usr/local/bin`` directory to run Ceph from a single directory.
