Downloading your Software

This section describes how to download HDF software artifacts through the Cloudera Downloads portal. To download HDF software artifacts, both trial and regular versions, authentication is now required. In order to access your software, you must obtain your login credentials for the Cloudera Downloads portal, select the type of installation experience you want, and specify an operating system.

Note
Note

HDF 3.5.2 is the last version of HDF that Cloudera will provide. Going forward Cloudera encourages customers to migrate to CFM 2.x on CDP. Cloudera requires customers to be on HDF 3.5.1 or HDF 3.5.2 before migrating to CFM 2.x on CDP. For more information on migration to CFM, see HDF to CFM migration document.

Access to the HDF software artifacts for production purposes requires authentication. Prior to starting installation, you must download the HDF software artifacts from the Cloudera Downloads portal.

You must first have an active subscription agreement that provides you access to download and use HDF. You get the credentials from Cloudera sales representatives or from the Flow Management account welcome email. The entitlement to HDF is connected to your MyCloudera account which you can use to access the HDF downloads page.

Note
Note

The download credentials contained in your welcome email are not the same as the credentials you use to access the support portal.
