CDH 5 fails to install on Ubuntu 12.04

[#1]

Hello,

I have downloaded the .bin file onto my Ubuntu system but there is no way to install it.  The installation instructions were of no help, either.  It seems there is only one format for all OS types?

It is documented here, the section titled:

"Download and Run the Cloudera Manager Server Installer"

http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera-content/cloudera-docs/CM5/latest/Cloudera-Manager-Installat...

Are you saying that the installer binary fails when you run it from the command line, after making it executable based on the steps in the documentation?

Oh, I didn?t try that. I was looking in the documentation provided on the Express page (tab along the row where the download section is) and perhaps it is documented there but I didn?t read far enough into it.

I?ll give it a try later and respond on the forum.

Thanks for the quick reply.
