+Manual ceph-iscsi-cli Installation
+==================================
+
+**Requirements**
+
+The following packages will be used by ceph-iscsi-cli and target tools.
+They must be installed from your Linux distribution's software repository
+on each machine that will be a iSCSI gateway:
+
+- libnl3
+- libkmod
+- librbd1
+- pyparsing
+- python kmod
+- python pyudev
+- python gobject
+- python kmod
+- python pyudev
+- python gobject
+- python urwid
+- python pyparsing
+- python rados
+- python rbd
+- python netaddr
+- python netifaces
+- python crypto
+- python requests
+- python flask
+- pyOpenSSL
+
+**Packages**
+
+- Linux Kernel
+
+ If not using a distro kernel that contains the required Ceph iSCSI patches,
+ then Linux kernel v4.17 or newer or the ceph-client ceph-iscsi-stable
+ branch must be used. To get the ceph-iscsi-stable branch run:
+
+ ::
+
+ > git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph-client.git
+ > git checkout ceph-iscsi-stable
+
+ Check your distro's docs for specific instructions on how to build a
+ kernel. The only Ceph iSCSI specific requirements are the following
+ build options must be enabled:
+
+ ::
+
+ CONFIG_TARGET_CORE=m
+ CONFIG_TCM_USER2=m
+ CONFIG_ISCSI_TARGET=m
+
+- tcmu-runner
+
+ Installation:
+
+ ::
+
+ > git clone https://github.com/open-iscsi/tcmu-runner
+ > cd tcmu-runner
+
+ Ceph iSCSI requires systemd so the following build command must be used:
+
+ ::
+
+ > cmake -Dwith-glfs=false -Dwith-qcow=false -DSUPPORT_SYSTEMD=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
+ > make install
+
+ Enable and start the daemon:
+
+ ::
+
+ > systemctl daemon-reload
+ > systemctl enable tcmu-runner
+ > systemctl start tcmu-runner
+
+- rtslib-fb
+
+ Installation:
+
+ ::
+
+ > git clone https://github.com/open-iscsi/rtslib-fb.git
+ > cd rtslib-fb
+ > python setup.py install
+
+- configshell-fb
+
+ Installation:
+
+ ::
+
+ > git clone https://github.com/open-iscsi/configshell-fb.git
+ > cd configshell-fb
+ > python setup.py install
+
+- targetcli-fb
+
+ Installation:
+
+ ::
+
+ > git clone https://github.com/open-iscsi/targetcli-fb.git
+ > cd targetcli-fb
+ > python setup.py install
+ > mkdir /etc/target
+ > mkdir /var/target
+
+ .. warning:: The ceph-iscsi tools assume they are managing all targets
+ on the system. If targets have been setup and are being managed by
+ targetcli the target service must be disabled.
+
+- ceph-iscsi-config
+
+ Installation:
+
+ ::
+
+ > git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph-iscsi-config.git
+ > cd ceph-iscsi-config
+ > python setup.py install
+ > cp usr/lib/systemd/system/rbd-target-gw.service /lib/systemd/system
+
+ Enable and start the daemon:
+
+ ::
+
+ > systemctl daemon-reload
+ > systemctl enable rbd-target-gw
+ > systemctl start rbd-target-gw
+
+- ceph-iscsi-cli
+
+ Installation:
+
+ ::
+
+ > git clone https://github.com/ceph/ceph-iscsi-cli.git
+ > cd ceph-iscsi-cli
+ > python setup.py install
+ > cp usr/lib/systemd/system/rbd-target-api.service /lib/systemd/system
+
+
+Installation is complete. Proceed to the setup section in the
+`main ceph-iscsi-cli page`_.
