Sorry for making this hard. We are the in the process of improving the download page. 

 

For 12..04 LTS (precise) here are the commands you should run (assuming wget is installed). You should run them from a machine running in AWS. 

 

 

$ wget http://archive.cloudera.com/director/ubuntu/precise/amd64/director/cloudera-director.list
$ wget http://archive.cloudera.com/director/ubuntu/precise/amd64/director/archive.key
$ sudo apt-key add archive.key
$ sudo mv cloudera-director.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install cloudera-director-client cloudera-director-server
$ sudo service cloudera-director-server start

At the end of this Director should be available on port 7189 on that machine. You should be able to access it from a browser via a tunnel, proxy or VPN connection. 

 

For more instructions see the documentation: http://cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation/cloudera-director/latest/PDF/cloudera-director...

Have you configured the proper repositories? What operating system are you using?

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

 

How do I configure the proper repositories? 

 

Thank you!

You can get the list file and the relevant key from here:

http://archive.cloudera.com/director/ubuntu/precise/amd64/director/

 

You need to copy cloudera-director.list to /etc/apt/sources.list.d, load the key (via sudo apt-key add archive.key). After all that the initial apt-get install command should just work.

As a reminder: make sure you are running Director on a machine withing the desired subnet in VPC. When configuring clusters it tries to access nodes on the private network.

I am new to Cloudera so excuse my inaptitude, but what do I do at : 

 

http://archive.cloudera.com/director/ubuntu/precise/amd64/director/ 

 

Is there documentation as to the detailed steps I need to take to be able to download cloudera director? 

 

Thanks a lot for the help!

In this case my recommendation would be to try out AWS Quickstart. It makes it very easy to setup everyhing (handles installation automatically). 

 

Here are the relevant links that explain all the moving parts:

Are you already using AWS for other applications? Can you provide more details on your use case?

Does AWS Quickstart come with Spark installed? 

 

Thanks!

You can customise the configuration file to add Spark. AWS Quickstart does not automatically create the cluster. See docs.

Thanks for the info.

 

I am still trying to download Cloudera Director, even the documentation simply says "download cloudera director at: " is there no documentation for steps to download Cloudera Director? 

 

Thanks!
