Hello Yaniv,

Thanks very much for the response. I am currently trying to develop a
proposal for this project but I have not yet been able to successfully
setup oVirt. I just realized I could not install the oVirt-engine an
Ubuntu 14, so I am currently trying to download and install Fedora 23,
where I intend to setup the oVirt-engine. I would then use another
machine with Ubuntu for the host.

I would warmly suggest an EL7 (such as CentOS 7.3) operating system.

 

Please with respect to this project I would like to know if I am also
required compile and install the source code for oVirt-engine or do I
only need to build and install ovirt4cli.

You don't need to compile, just have an installed oVirt - the pointers below should allow you to easily set it up in a virtual machines (on Fedora 25 or CentOS 7.3 for example) and then you can develop ovirt4cli on the host (that's what I did initially).

Let me know if you face any issues I can help you with with setting up Lago or ovirt-system-tests on your host.

Y.

 

Thanks
Konrad
