Installing MooseFS - WIP MA

This chapter guides you through the process of installing MooseFS on your system. Whether you're setting up a small test environment or building a production-ready cluster, a proper installation is the first step toward a stable and efficient deployment.

Here you’ll find step-by-step instructions for installing each core component - including the Master Server, Chunkservers, Clients, and optional tools - on supported platforms. By the end of this chapter, you’ll have a functional MooseFS environment ready for configuration and use.

Before you begin, make sure to review the system requirements described in the Requirements chapter. Verifying hardware specifications, operating system compatibility, and network configuration in advance will help avoid common setup issues and ensure MooseFS runs smoothly.
