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...

Thank you, the commands worked!

 

FYI, the linked pdf is returning a 404 error.

 

Thanks again for the help.

Forgot to mention. You also need to install Oracle JDK by doing: sudo apt-get install oracle-j2sdk1.7
