(Optional) The Ranger components should already have installed in the at the beginning of the HDP upgrade process, but you can use the following commands to confirm that the Ranger packages have been installed:

hdp-select status ranger-admin
hdp-select status ranger-usersync

If the packages have not been installed, you can use the install commands specific to your OS. For example, for RHEL/CentOS you would use the following commands to install the packages.

yum install ranger_2_3_*-admin
yum install ranger_2_3_*-usersync

Select the Ranger Admin and Ranger UserSync versions you want to use.

hdp-select set ranger-admin <HDP_server_version>
hdp-select set ranger-usersync <HDP_server_version>

Change ownership of /etc/ranger/admin/conf/ and /etc/ranger/usersync/conf/ to ranger:ranger:

chown -R ranger:ranger /etc/ranger/admin/conf/
