Using a Local Path with rpm or deb Package Files

This section describes how to make packages available through a local path.

About this task

You can download package files, store them locally, and then install data-fabric software from the files. This option is useful for clusters that are not connected to the internet.
WARNING
In order for the installation to succeed, this method requires that you pre-install the data-fabric package dependencies on each node.

For a list of the dependency packages required for the data-fabric services that you are installing, see Packages and Dependencies for Data Fabric Software. Manually download the packages and install them.

To install data-fabric software from downloaded package files, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Using a machine connected to the internet, download the tarball for the core components and the ecosystem components, substituting the appropriate <platform>, <version>, and <datestamp>:
    IMPORTANT
    To access the Data Fabric internet repository, you must specify the email and token of an HPE Passport account. For more information, see Using the HPE Ezmeral Token-Authenticated Internet Repository.

    For the correct paths for all past releases, see Data Fabric Repositories and Packages.

  2. Extract the tarball to a local directory, either on each node or on a local network accessible by all nodes:
    tar -xvzf mapr-<version>GA.rpm.tgz
    tar -xvzf mapr-mep-<version>-<datestamp>.rpm.tgz
