MapR Repositories and Packages

Describes the repositories for MapR software and the ecosystem components.

Password-Protected Internet Repository

The internet repository for Data Fabric core and ecosystem packages is now password protected. In August of 2023, the repository moved to a new location that requires authentication with an HPE Passport account:

https://package.ezmeral.hpe.com/

What's New in Version 6.1.0 describes the repository change in more detail.

Because the new repository requires authentication, there are some new considerations for using it. See Using the HPE Ezmeral Token-Authenticated Internet Repository.

Repositories for MapR Core Software

HPE hosts rpm and deb repositories for installing the MapR core software using Linux package-management tools. For every release of the core software, a repository is created for each supported platform.

Platform-specific installation repositories are hosted at: https://package.ezmeral.hpe.com/releases/v6.x.x/<platform>.

Repositories for Ezmeral Ecosystem Packs

A Ezmeral Ecosystem Pack (EEP) provides a set of ecosystem components that work together. HPE hosts rpm and deb repositories for easily installing the ecosystem components.

These platform-specific repositories are hosted at the following location:

https://package.ezmeral.hpe.com/releases/MEP/MEP-<version>/<platform>

For more information about the Ezmeral Ecosystem Packs (EEPs), see Ezmeral Ecosystem Packs.

GitHub Repositories for Source Code

HPE releases the source code for ecosystem components to GitHub, including all patches that HPE has applied to the components. Source code for all releases since March 2013 are available at https://github.com/mapr.

Maven Repositories for Application Developers

HPE hosts a Maven repository where application developers can download dependencies on MapR software or Hadoop ecosystem components. Maven artifacts for all releases since March 2013 are available at Maven Artifacts for MapR.
