Using the MapR Repository
It is usually easiest to install a MapR cluster from a MapR repository.
The MapR repository
provides all of the packages required to install a cluster using native tools such as
yum
on RedHat, Oracle Linux, or CentOS, or apt-get
on
Ubuntu, or zypper
on SUSE. Installing from the MapR
repository is generally the easiest installation
method, but requires the greatest amount of bandwidth. With this method, each node is
connected to the Internet to download the required packages.
When setting up a repository for the new version, leave in place the repository for the existing version because you might need to use it again.
Prepare packages and repositories on every node, or on a single node if keyless SSH is set up for the root user.
Set up repositories by completing the steps for your RedHat/Oracle Linux/CentOS, SUSE, or Ubuntu distribution.
For information on repositories and packages for MapR software and Hadoop Ecosystem tools, see MapR Repositories and Packages.
Repositories for Core Software
HPE hosts rpm
and deb
repositories for installing the
core software using Linux package management tools. For every release of the core software,
a repository is created for each supported platform.
Platform-specific upgrade repositories are hosted at: https://package.ezmeral.hpe.com/releases/v<version>/<platform>/mapr-v<version>GA-upgrade.<rpm/deb>.tgz.
Repositories for Ecosystem Tools
HPE hosts rpm
and deb
repositories for installing
ecosystem tools, such as Flume, Hive, Myriad, Oozie, Pig, and
Sqoop. At any given time, the recommended versions of ecosystem tools that work with the
latest version of core software are available here.
These platform-specific repositories are hosted at the following locations:
-
https://package.ezmeral.hpe.com/releases/MEP/MEP-<version>/<platform>NOTE The MEP-<version> directory can be represented by a 2-digit number or a 3-digit number (for example, MEP-2.0 or MEP-2.0.0). See Understanding Two-Digit and Three-Digit EEPs.
