Openstack CLI

install the packages python2-openstackclient, python2-novaclient, python2-glanceclient, python2-cinderclient, python2-neutronclient. They are available for most of the Linux systems.
copy the available credentials in CC-IN2P3 HOME ~/.novacreds/novarc.sh in a local environment file
source the file

To work with the CLI on our interactive servers you need to run module:

% module load openstack

Afterwards, commands like openstack, nova, etc… are immediately accessible:

% openstack catalog list
