This document provides instructions for setting up DevStack, an all-in-one development environment for OpenStack, on a virtual machine. It describes preparing the VM with at least 2GB RAM and a supported OS, setting up the environment by creating a user and cloning the DevStack repository, and executing the stack.sh script to deploy OpenStack services including Nova, Keystone, Glance, and Horizon. It notes that Neutron, Swift, Ceilometer, Heat and Trove are not deployed by default.
