Installing

If you want to try tsuru with a minimum amount of effort, we recommend you to use tsuru Now (or tsuru-bootstrap, which runs tsuru Now in a Vagrant VM).

tsuru Now will install tsuru API, tsuru Client, tsuru Admin, and all of their dependencies on a single machine. It will also include a Docker node which will run deployed applications.

This gives you a very nice environment for trying out tsuru, but this is not the recommended approach for a production environment. This document will describe how to install each component separately.

We assume that tsuru is being installed on an Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS 64-bit machine. This is currently the supported environment for tsuru, you may try running it on other environments, but there’s a chance it won’t be a smooth ride.
