Can I install Swift (OpenStack Storage Infrastructure) OpenStack without installing Nova?

I am trying to use OpenStack, but I am very confused.

I want to use SWIFT (OpenStack storage infrastructure) to store data. But I do not know how to install it. I tried to complete this tutorial , but it installs ALL SERVICES on the server (Server1) ... I need SWIFT.

Do I need to install Nova for Swift?

Because in this tutorial, on Server1, according to the hierarchy of Swift, Nova belongs ... But I thought it was separate. If anyone knows this and more, if anyone knows a tutorial on installing SWIFT on Ubuntu, please tell me. I tried to install this component on the Ubuntu 12.04 desktop, but with all these doubts I cannot go further. Many thanks.

You can install only quick installation on one machine, regardless of nova, look or keystone (or any other openstack component). The openstack pages have a tutorial .

However, the tutorial is for earlier versions of Ubuntu: on Ubuntu 12.04 swift and its dependencies (for example, the rest of openstack) are in the default repositories. Therefore, there is no need to use git or ppa, just use apt-get or aptitude to get the software:

sudo apt-get install swift swauth swift-account swift-container swift-object swift-proxy

This should help you get started, change the configuration files, as stated in the tutorial.
