Creating a local repository on Ubuntu

This section describes how to create and use a local repository.

Login as root on the machine where you will set up the repository.
Change to the directory /root, and create the following directories within it:
On a computer that is connected to the Internet, download the following files, substituting the appropriate <version> and <datestamp>: (See MapR Repositories and Package Archives for the correct paths for all past releases.)
```
https://package.mapr.com/releases/v6.x.x/ubuntu/mapr-<version>GA.deb.tgz
https://package.mapr.com/releases/MEP/MEP-<version>/ubuntu/mapr-mep-<version>-<datestamp>.deb.tgz
```
Copy the files to /root/mapr/mapr on the node, and extract them there.
```
tar -xvzf mapr-<version>GA.deb.tgz
tar -xvzf mapr-mep-<version>-<datestamp>.deb.tgz
```
Navigate to the /root/mapr/ directory.
Use dpkg-scanpackages to create Packages.gz in the binary-amd64 directory:
dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > ./dists/binary/optional/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
Move the entire /root/mapr/mapr directory to the default directory served by the HTTP server (for example, /var/www), and make sure the HTTP server is running.
