Installing BDD on a single node

Once you've satisfied all of BDD's prerequisites, you can download and install the software.

Before installing, verify that:
  • Your machine meets all hardware, software, and disk space requirements described in Prerequisites.
  • The Linux user that will perform the installation meets the user access requirements described in User access requirements.
  • The Studio database (including its username, password, and schema) is set up.
  • If you want to enable Kerberos, you created a principal and keytab file for BDD.
  • The following Hadoop components are running:
    • Cloudera Manager/Ambari
    • ZooKeeper
    • HDFS
    • Hive
    • Spark on YARN
    • YARN
    • Hue

To install BDD:

  1. On your machine, create a new directory or choose an existing one to be the installation source directory.
    This directory must contain at least 10GB of free space.
  2. Within the installation source directory, create a new directory named packages.
  3. Download the BDD media pack from the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud.
    Be sure to download all packages in the media pack. Make a note of each file's part number, as you will need this to identify it later.
  4. Move the BDD installer, BDD binary, and WebLogic Server packages from the download location to the packages directory.
  5. Rename the first BDD binary package bdd1.zip and the second bdd2.zip.
    This ensures that the installer will recognize them.
  6. Extract the WebLogic Server package.
    This creates a file called fmw_12.1.3.0.0_wls.jar, which contains the WebLogic Server installer.
  7. Navigate back to the installation source directory and extract the BDD installer package: 
    unzip packages/<BDD_installer_package>.zip
    This creates a new directory called installer, which contains the install script and other files it requires.
  8. Open BDD's configuration file, bdd.conf, in a text editor and update the Required Settings section.
    See Configuring a single-node installation for instructions on how to do this.
  9. Go to the installer directory and run: 
    ./setup.sh
  10. Enter the following when prompted:
    • The username and password for Cloudera Manager/Ambari.
    • A username and password for the WebLogic Server admin. The password must contain at least 8 characters, one of which must be a number, and can't begin with a number.
    • The username and password for the database.
    • The username and password for the Studio admin. The username must be a full email address and can't begin with root@ or postmaster@. The password must be at least 6 characters, one of which must be a non-alphanumeric character.
If the script succeeded, BDD is now installed on your machine and ready for you to begin working with it. See Post-Installation Tasks to learn more about your installation and how to verify it.

If the script failed, see Troubleshooting a Failed Installation.
