New combined CLI tool installation

[name@server ~]$ sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip

[name@server ~]$ pip install python-openstackclient

see [http://docs.openstack.org/cli-reference/common/cli_install_openstack_command_line_clients.html]

To install on a machine (ACENET specifically without admin privileges) use:

[name@server ~]$  pip install --user python-openstackclient

which installs to ~/.local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages/ so by adding export PYTHONPATH=${HOME}/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/:${PYTHONPATH} to your .bashrc file if you are using Python major version X=2, and minor version Y=7.

It seems that the new openstack command line client, works more interactively? If I run the command

[name@server ~]$ openstack

starts up an interactive prompt and get get a list of available commands by typing help at the openstack prompt. Useful user accessible commands are

[name@server ~]$  openstack server

[name@server ~]$  openstack volume

[name@server ~]$  openstack container

[name@server ~]$  openstack object

[name@server ~]$  openstack network

[name@server ~]$  openstack security

[name@server ~]$  openstack image
