Hortonworks Data Platform is made up of a number of components. You must at a minimum install HDFS, but you can decide which of the other services you want to install. See Understand the Basics for more information on your options.
Select all to preselect all items or minimum to preselect only HDFS.
Use the checkboxes to unselect (if you have used all) or select (if you have used minimum) to arrive at your desired list of components.
