3. Setting up Access

Add repository. Create a new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudera.list with the following contents, taking care to replace DISTRO with the name of your distribution (find out by running lsb_release -c)

Add repository key. (optional) Add the Cloudera Public GPG Key to your repository by executing the following command:

curl -s http://archive.cloudera.com/debian/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -

This allows you to verify that you are downloading genuine packages.

Update APT package index. Simply run:

sudo apt-get update

Find and install packages. You may now find and install packages from the Cloudera repository using your favorite APT package manager (e.g apt-get, aptitude, or dselect). For example:

apt-cache search hadoop
sudo apt-get install hadoop

Add the Yum repository of your choice. Download the cloudera-stable.repo or cloudera-testing.repo file and drop it ito your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

Update the Yum package index. Simple run:

sudo yum update yum

Find and install packages. For example:

yum search hadoop
yum install hadoop-0.20
