MapR
Before installing, ensure to check and complete the installation requirements. Follow the below instructions to download, install, and set up Unravel for the MapR platform.
Notice
The following instructions are for a single cluster environment. For installing Unravel on a multi-cluster environment, refer to Multi-cluster install.
1. Download Unravel
2. Deploy Unravel binaries
Unravel binaries are available as a tar file or RPM package. You can deploy the Unravel binaries in any directory on the server. However, the user who installs Unravel must have write permissions to the directory where the Unravel binaries are deployed.
After the Unravel binaries are deployed, the directory layout for both the Tar and RPM will be unravel/versions/<Directories and files>
. The binaries are deployed to <Unravel_installation_directory>
and Unravel will be available in <Unravel_installation_directory>/unravel
.
Option 1: Deploy Unravel from a tar file
The following steps to deploy Unravel from a tar file should be performed by a user, who will run Unravel.
Create an Installation directory.
mkdir
/path/to/installation/directory
## For example: mkdir /opt/unravelNote
Some locations may require root access to create a directory. In such a case, after the directory is created, change the ownership to unravel user and continue with the installation procedure as the unravel user.
chown -R
username
:groupname
/path/to/installation/directory
## For example: chown -R unravel:unravelgroup /opt/unravelExtract and copy the Unravel tar file to the installation directory, which was created in the first step. After you extract the contents of the tar file,
unravel
directory is created within the installation directory.tar zxf unravel-
<version>
tar.gz -C /path/to/installation/directory ## For example: tar zxf unravel-4.7.2.3.tar.gz -C /opt ## The unravel directory will be available within /opt
Option 2: Deploy Unravel from an RPM package
Important
The following steps, to deploy Unravel from an RPM package, should be performed by a root user. After the RPM package is deployed, the remaining installation procedures should be performed by the unravel user.
Create an installation directory.
mkdir /usr/local/unravel
Grant ownership of the directory to a user who will run Unravel. This user executes all the processes involved in Unravel installation.
chown -R
username
:groupname
/usr/local/unravel ## For example: chown -R unravel:unravelgroup /usr/local/unravelRun the following command:
rpm -i unravel-
<version>
.rpm ## For example: rpm -i unravel-4.7.2.3.rpm ## The unravel directory will be available in /usr/localIn case you want to provide a different location, you can do so by using the --prefix command. For example:
mkdir /opt/unravel chown -R
username
:groupname
/opt/unravel rpm -i unravel-4.7.2.3.rpm --prefix /opt ## The unravel directory will be available in /optContinue with the installation procedures as unravel user.
3. Run the setup
You can run the setup command to install Unravel. The setup command allows you to do the following:
Runs Precheck automatically to detect possible issues that prevent a successful installation. Suggestions are provided to resolve issues. Refer to Precheck filters for the expected value for each filter.
Let you run extra parameters to integrate the database of your choice.
The setup command allows you to use a managed database shipped with Unravel or an external database. The setup uses the Unravel managed PostgreSQL database when run without any additional parameters. Otherwise, you can specify one of the following types of databases in the setup command:
MySQL (Unravel managed as well as external MySQL database)
MariaDB (Unravel managed as well as external MariaDB database)
PostgreSQL (External PostgreSQL)
Refer to Integrate database for details.
Let you specify a separate path for the data directory other than the default path.
You can locate the Unravel data and configurations in the
data
directory. By default, the installer maintains the data directory under<Unravel installation directory>/data
. You can also change the data directory's default location by running additional parameters with the setup command. To install Unravel with the setup command.Provides more setup options.
Notice
The Unravel user who owns the installation directory should run the setup command to install Unravel.
To install Unravel with the setup command, do the following:
Switch to Unravel user.
su -
<unravel user>
Run setup command:
Note
Refer to setup Options for all the additional parameters that you can run with the setup command
Refer to Integrate database topic and complete the pre-requisites before running the setup command with any other database other than Unravel managed PostgreSQL, which is shipped with the product. Extra parameters must be passed with the setup command when using another database.
Tip
Optionally, if you want to provide a different data directory, you can pass an extra parameter (--data-directory) with the setup command as follows:
<unravel_installation_directory>/unravel/versions/
<Unravel version>
/setup --data-directory/the/data/directory
Similarly, you can configure separate directories for other unravel directories —contact support for assistance.

Precheck is automatically run when you run the setup command. Refer to Precheck filters for the expected value for each filter.
Apply the changes.
<Unravel installation directory>/unravel/manager config apply
Start all the services.
<unravel_installation_directory>/unravel/manager start
Check the status of services.
<unravel_installation_directory>/unravel/manager report
The following service statuses are reported:
OK: Service is up and running.
Not Monitored: Service is not running. (Has stopped or has failed to start)
Initializing: Services are starting up.
Does not exist: The process unexpectedly disappeared. A restart will be attempted ten times.
You can also get the status and information for a specific service. Run the manager report command as follows:
<unravel_installation_directory>/unravel/manager report <service>
For example: /opt/unravel/manager report auto_action
The Precheck output displays the issues that prevent a successful installation and provides suggestions to resolve them. You must resolve each of the issues before proceeding. See Precheck filters.
After resolving the precheck issues, you must re-login or reload the shell to execute the setup command again.
Note
You can skip the precheck using the setup --skip-precheck command in certain situations.
For example:
/opt/unravel/versions/<Unravel version>/setup --skip-precheck
You can also skip the checks that you know can fail. For example, if you want to skip the Check limits option and the Disk freespace option, pick the command within the parenthesis corresponding to these failed options and run the setup command as follows:
setup --filter-precheck ~check_limits,~check_freespace
Tip
Run --help with the setup command and any combination of the setup command for complete usage details.
<unravel_installation_directory>/unravel/versions/<Unravel version>
/setup --help
