You can upgrade MapR Core without using the MapR Installer.
First, you perform an offline or rolling upgrade of the MapR core manually. Next, you
configure the new version to enable support of MapR core features. Finally, you upgrade
ecosystem components manually.
When upgrading, you can install packages from the following sources:
- The MapR internet repository
- A local repository
- Individual package files
Go to the next topic to begin setting up repositories.
When you are finished upgrading MapR core, you will need to follow the steps to upgrade the
ecosystem components, as described in
Upgrading the MapR Ecosystem Pack

MEP 4.0.0 and later
MEPs (see

not enable new features, add new services, add new nodes, or make configuration changes
until
