Convention for heading levels in Neutron devref: ======= Heading 0 (reserved for the title in a document) ------- Heading 1 ~~~~~~~ Heading 2 +++++++ Heading 3 ''''''' Heading 4 (Avoid deeper levels because they do not render well.) Setting Up a Development Environment ==================================== This page describes how to setup a working Python development environment that can be used in developing Neutron on Ubuntu, Fedora or Mac OS X. These instructions assume you're already familiar with Git and Gerrit, which is a code repository mirror and code review toolset , however if you aren't please see `this Git tutorial`_ for an introduction to using Git and `this guide`_ for a tutorial on using Gerrit and Git for code contribution to OpenStack projects. .. _this Git tutorial: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started .. _this guide: http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#development-workflow Following these instructions will allow you to run the Neutron unit tests. If you want to be able to run Neutron in a full OpenStack environment, you can use the excellent `DevStack`_ project to do so. There is a wiki page that describes `setting up Neutron using DevStack`_. .. _DevStack: https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-dev/devstack .. _setting up Neutron using Devstack: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/NeutronDevstack Getting the code ---------------- Grab the code:: git clone git://git.openstack.org/openstack/neutron.git cd neutron .. include:: ../../../TESTING.rst
