How to install MicroCloud
=========================

To install MicroCloud, install all required :ref:`snaps` on all machines that you want to include in your cluster.

To do so, enter the following command on all machines::

  sudo snap install lxd microceph microovn microcloud

.. note::
   Make sure to install the same version of the snaps on all machines.

   If you don't want to use MicroCloud's full functionality, you can install only some of the snaps.
   However, this is not recommended.
