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:
  • You satisfied all requirements described in Prerequisites.
  • The bdd user meets the requirements described in OS user requirements.
  • The Studio and Workflow Manager Service databases (including their usernames, passwords, and schemas) are set up.
  • The following Hadoop components are running:
    • Cloudera Manager/Ambari/MCS
    • 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.
  9. Run the prerequisite checker to verify whether your system meets all install requirements.
    See Running the prerequisite checker for instructions.
  10. Go to the installer directory and run: 
    ./setup.sh
  11. Enter the following when prompted:
    • The username and password for your cluster manager.
    • 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 password for the Studio admin. This must contain at least 8 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.
