 8. Define Environment Parameters

You need to set up specific users and directories for your HDP installation using the following instructions:

  1. Define directories.

    The following table describes the directories for install, configuration, data, process IDs, and logs based on the Hadoop Services you plan to install. Use this table to define what you are going to use to set up your environment.

    [Note]Note

    The scripts.zip file you downloaded in Download Companion Files includes a script, directories.sh, for setting directory environment parameters.

    We strongly suggest you edit and source (alternatively, you can also copy the contents to your ~/.bash_profile) to set up these environment variables in your environment.
