Installing the Data Fabric Client on Ubuntu

This section describes how to install the Data Fabric client on Ubuntu.

  1. Remove any previous Data Fabric client software. You can use dpkg --list | grep mapr to get a list of installed Data Fabric packages. Then type the packages separated by spaces after the dpkg -r command. For example:
    dpkg -r mapr-core mapr-fileserver

  2. Update your Ubuntu repositories. For example:

    apt-get update
  3. Make sure the client is running JDK 11 or later:
    $ echo $JAVA_HOME
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home
$ /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -version
openjdk version "11.0.1" 2018-10-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13, mixed mode)

  4. Run the following command to install the Data Fabric client:

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