After you prepare the host as described in: https://ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/developers.html#installing... https://ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/developers.html#getting-th... https://ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/developers.html#installing... is to install latest release of vdsm: yum install vdsm vdsm-client Otherwise you will have to painfully install some of the packages or install lot of packages you don't need (e.g. mostly lot of hooks). When your host is ready, you can build vdsm from source and upgrade the installed packages: git clean -dxf ./autogen.sh --system --enable-timestamp make rm -rf ~/rpmbuild make rpm (cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS && sudo yum upgrade */*.rpm) I think we should drop instructions in vdsm README, and point to the page on ovirt.org, or replace them with short version that works and easier to maintain.
