Using a Local Path with rpm or deb Package Files

This section describes how to make packages available through a local path.

You can download package files, store them locally, and then install data-fabric softwarefrom the files. This option is useful for clusters that are not connected to the internet.

Warning: This method requires that you pre-install the data-fabric package dependencies on each node in order for the installation to succeed.

See Packages and Dependencies for Data Fabric Software for a list of the dependency packages required for the data-fabric services that you are installing. Manually download the packages and install them.

To install data-fabric software from downloaded package files, complete the following steps:

Using a machine connected to the internet, download the tarball for the core components and the Hadoop ecosystem components, substituting the appropriate <platform>, <version>, and <datestamp>:
- https://package.mapr.com/releases/v6.x.x/<platform>/mapr-v<version>GA.rpm.tgz (or .deb.tgz)
- https://package.mapr.com/releases/MEP/MEP-<version>/<platform>/mapr-mep-<version>-<datestamp>.rpm.tgz (or .deb.tgz) (See Data Fabric Repositories and Packages for the correct paths for all past releases.)
Extract the tarball to a local directory, either on each node or on a local network accessible by all nodes.
```
tar -xvzf mapr-<version>GA.rpm.tgz
tar -xvzf mapr-mep-<version>-<datestamp>.rpm.tgz
```
