How do I install OpenStack in RHEL 7 CentOS 7

Question

Hi everyone,

I am doing one project in Big Data and my requirement is I want to host every results publicly. For that I can use AWS but it is not free. So after doing research, I came to know OpenStack is also a platform that can also be used as a cloud platform and it is open source platform as well. Can anyone tell me how to install OpenStack in my own system?

Thank You
