Adding the Data Fabric Repository on SLES

This section describes how to install the Data Fabric repository.

Procedure

  1. Change to the root user or use sudo.
  2. Use the following command to add the repository for Data Fabric packages, replacing <version> with the version of Data Fabric software that you want to install:
    IMPORTANT
    For SLES distributions, if your user name is an email address that includes special characters – such as the @ symbol – you must URL encode the special characters so that the correct email address is passed to the authentication protocols in the repository. For most email addresses, changing the @ symbol to %40 is sufficient. For example:

    Unencoded email address: jane.smith@company.com

    URL encoded email address: jane.smith%40company.com

    To encode other special characters, see "URL Encoded Emails" at HPE Software Delivery Repository.

    zypper ar https://<email>:<token>@package.ezmeral.hpe.com/releases/v<version>/suse/ maprtech
  3. Use the following command to add the repository for ecosystem packages: 
    zypper ar https://<email>:<token>@package.ezmeral.hpe.com/releases/MEP/MEP-<version>/suse/ maprecosystem
  4. If your connection to the Internet is through a proxy server, you must set the http_proxy environment variable before installation: 
    http_proxy=http://<host>:<port>
              export http_proxy
  5. Update the system package index by running the following command: 
    zypper refresh
  6. Data Fabric packages require a compatibility package in order to install and run on SLES. Execute the following command to install the SLES compatibility package: 
    zypper install mapr-compat-suse
