Short answer: you can't.

Keystone and nova are both required.

Glance is also required, as documented on the wiki:

This question is the same as 237210 from Mehmet

The answers were along the same lines: you can't

There were also some suggestions on how to hack the code to avoid the nova dependencies.

Perhaps the question is different: the first is at code level vs. this is at an install package level.

As said before, you cannot do this, but you might want to create a new blueprint for this, since it could be useful for others.

There is a blueprint to break out openstack_dashboards from horizon that might help since horizon does not have a dependency on nova but some of the openstack_dashboards do.

Then the next job would be to break out the contaners panel into its own dashboard.

After I installed horizon on package, I changed code in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/horizon/dashboards/nova/dashboard.py. And Horizon dont show nova screens. Still I needed to install nova.
But If I horizon on source code, I dont need to install nova or glance
