This topic includes instructions for using package managers to download and install Drill.

Prerequisites

Verify that the system meets the prerequisites. You must install the mapr-drill-yarn package on a node designated to run as the Drill-on-YARN client.

NOTE
If users need to access SQLLine, you must install the mapr-drill-yarn package on every node used to access SQLLine.

Procedure

  1. To install Drill, issue the command appropriate for your system:
    RedHat/CentOS
    yum install mapr-drill-yarn
    Ubuntu
    apt-get install mapr-drill-yarn
    SLES
    zypper install mapr-drill-yarn
    NOTE
    • SLES is supported as of Drill 1.9.0-1703 and Drill 1.10.0-1703.
    • Drill does not automatically start after you install the packages. Configuring Drill to Run Under YARN includes steps for starting Drill-on-YARN.
  2. Configure Drill to run under YARN. See Configuring Drill to Run Under YARN.
    ATTENTION
    If you installed Drill-on-YARN 1.16.1.100 - 1.16.1.4хх (the versions included in EEP 7.0.1 - EEP 8.1.0), the system fails to upload the Drill archive because the /user/drill directory does not exist. Resolve this issue before you follow the steps in Configuring Drill to Run Under YARN. To resolve the issue, follow the steps listed in the Drill 1.16.1.400-2201 (EEP 8.1.0) Release Notes.
