Installing Ranger Plug-ins

The following sections describe how to install Ranger plug-ins.

Note

To ensure that you are installing the HDP version of the plug-ins instead of the Apache version, make sure you enter the following commands when installing each plug-in:

For CentOS and RHEL:
```
yum install ranger_ <version_number>
```

For SLES:

zypper -n --no-gpg-checks install --auto-agree-with-licenses ranger_ <version_number>

For Debian/Ubuntu:
HDP support for Debian 6 is deprecated with HDP 2.4.0. Future versions of HDP will no longer be supported on Debian 6.
```
apt-get install <version_number>
```

Installing the Ranger HDFS Plug-in

The Ranger HDFS plug-in helps to centralize HDFS authorization policies.

This section describes how to create an HDFS repository and install the HDFS plug-in.

Install the HDFS Plug-in

Create an HDFS repository in the Ranger Policy Manager. To do this, complete the HDFS Create Repository screen, as described in the HDFS Repository Configuration section of the Hortonworks Data Platform Ranger User Guide.
Make a note of the name you gave to this repository; you will need to use it again during HDFS plug-in setup.

At all servers where NameNode is installed, install the HDFS plug-in by following the steps listed below:

Go to the home directory of the HDFS plug-in:
```
cd /usr/hdp/<version>/ranger-hdfs-plugin
```

Edit the following HDFS-related properties in the install.properties file:
