The procedure below has been used to create a 3-node OPNFV install using Intel NUC i7 nodes with 16GB RAM, 250MB SSD, and 1 TB HDD. The install uses one NUC for the Jumphost, and one each for the controller (OpenStack + ODL) and the compute nodes.

===== Apex-Based Basic Install =====

Basic install guidelines: http://artifacts.opnfv.org/apex/docs/installation-instructions/baremetal.html

  * Make sure you have good internet connectivity, as it's required for package install/updates etc.

  * Install Centos 7 on the jumphost. 
    * This procedure assumes you are installing the Centos 7 Minimal Server ISO
    * Pick a root password, and create a non-root user "opnfv"
    * Select hostname "jumphost"
    * If the jumphost is attached to a gateway with DHCP disabled (as described on the [[https://wiki.opnfv.org/copper/academy|Academy main page]], you will need to assign the static IP to the primary ethernet interface during Ubuntu install (since network autoconfig will fail). Use these values:
      * IP address: 192.168.10.2
      * Netmask: 255.255.255.0
      * Gateway 192.168.10.1
      * DNS: 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
  * Give sudo access to the opnfv account
<code>
su
visudo
(add line)
opnfv   ALL=(ALL)       ALL
</code>
  * Update the system and reboot.
<code>
sudo yum -y update
</code>
  * If desired, install the GNOME desktop (recommended since you will likely be using the jumphost for other things...)
<code>
sudo yum -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop"
sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
sudo systemctl start graphical.target
</code>
  * Install prerequisites
<code>
sudo yum -y groupinstall "Virtualization Host"
sudo service libvirtd start
sudo chkconfig libvirtd on
</code>

  *  install git and create git folder where you will clone repos as needed
<code>
sudo yum -y install git
mkdir ~/git
git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org/gerrit/apex
</code>

==== Install RDO and Apex RPMs ====

  * Download and save the latest RPMs on the [[http://artifacts.opnfv.org/|OPNFV artifacts page]]
    * opnfv-apex-x.y-yyyymmdd.noarch.rpm
    * opnfv-apex-common-x.y-yyyymmdd.noarch.rpm
    * opnfv-apex-undercloud-x.y-yyyymmdd.noarch.rpm

  * Install the RDO RPM then the Apex RPMs
<code>
sudo yum install -y https://www.rdoproject.org/repos/rdo-release.rpm
cd ~/Downloads
# ! the next command assumes only the Apex RPMs are in your download location... order does not matter
sudo yum install -y *.rpm
</code>

==== Creating a Node Inventory File ====

This section explains further the instructions at [[http://artifacts.opnfv.org/apex/docs/installation-instructions/baremetal.html#creating-a-node-inventory-file|Creating a Node Inventory File]].

  * Based upon the examples in Apex repo folder ~/git/apex/config/inventory, create the inventory file ~/inventory.yaml
<code>
vi ~/inventory.yaml
nodes:
  node1:
    mac_address: "<controler mac>"
    cpus: 2
    memory: 16384
    disk: 1024
    arch: "x86_64"
    capabilities: "profile:control"
  node2:
    mac_address: "<compute mac>"
    cpus: 2
    memory: 16384
    disk: 1024
    arch: "x86_64"
    capabilities: "profile:compute"
</code>

==== Creating the Settings Files ====

This section explains further the instructions at [[http://artifacts.opnfv.org/apex/docs/installation-instructions/baremetal.html#creating-the-settings-files|Creating the Settings Files]].

  * Based upon the examples in Apex repo folder ~/git/apex/config/deploy, create the deploy settings file ~/deploy_settings.yaml
    * Note: the below assumes the IPMI settings should be deleted, but it's not clear yet how to enable wake-on-lan instead
<code>
vi ~/deploy_settings.yaml
global_params:
  ha_enabled: false

deploy_options:
  sdn_controller: opendaylight
  sdn_l3: false
  tacker: false
  congress: false
  sfc: false
 </code>

  * Enable wake-on-lan
<code>
cp /usr/bin/opnfv-deploy ~/opnfv-deploy
vi ~/opnfv-deploy
(change line as below and save)
          \"pm_type\": \"pxe_wol\",
sudo cp ~/opnfv-deploy /usr/bin/opnfv-deploy
</code>
