Installing the Data Fabric Client on RHEL

This section describes how to install the Data Fabric client on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

These steps assume that you have already installed the package key as described in Installing Clients on a Linux Host and set up a Data Fabric repository as described in Setting up the Data Fabric Repository.

  1. Remove any previous Data Fabric software. You can use rpm -qa | grep mapr to get a list of installed Data Fabric packages, then type the packages separated by spaces after the rpm -e command:

    rpm -qa | grep mapr
rpm -e mapr-fileserver mapr-core

  2. Install the client for your target architecture: 

    yum install mapr-edf-clients
  3. Open the Data Fabric UI to complete the configuration, as described in Installing Client Libraries.
