Download IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack: Administrator Guide, version 4.1

Important: You need root authority to run the installer.
The product installer requires a functional Upstart environment. Upstart is used to manage the service
state of the Chef server.
Note: This may not be the case in Docker containers or chroot environments that are common in
deployment phases that use Anaconda/Kickstart.
You can verify that Upstart is running with the following command:
initctl list
