Get Software
============
There are several methods for getting Ceph software. The easiest and most common
method is to add Ceph repositories for use with package management tools such as
the Advanced Package Tool (APT) or Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM). You may
also retrieve pre-compiled packages from the Ceph repository. Finally, you can
retrieve tarballs or clone the Ceph source code repository and build Ceph
yourself.

Install Software
================
Once you have the Ceph software (or added repositories), installing the software
is easy. To install packages on each :term:`Ceph Node` in your cluster. You may
use ``ceph-deploy`` to install Ceph for your storage cluster, or use package
management tools. You should install Yum Priorities for RHEL/CentOS and other
distributions that use Yum if you intend to install the Ceph Object Gateway or
QEMU.
