Using a Local Parcel Repository

To use a local parcel repository, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the Cloudera Manager Admin Console and click Parcels in the left-side navigation menu.
  2. Select Configuration and verify that you have a Local Parcel Repository path set. By default, the directory is /opt/cloudera/parcel-repo.
  3. Remove any Remote Parcel Repository URLs that you are not using, including ones that point to Cloudera archives.
  4. Add the parcel you want to use to the local parcel repository directory that you specified. For instructions on downloading parcels, see Downloading and Publishing the Parcel Repository above.
  5. In the command line, navigate to the local parcel repository directory.
  6. Create a SHA1 hash for the parcel you added and save it to a file named parcel_name.parcel.sha.
    For example, the following command generates a SHA1 hash for the parcel CDH-6.1.0-1.cdh6.1.0.p0.770702-el7.parcel: 
    sha1sum CDH-6.1.0-1.cdh6.1.0.p0.770702-el7.parcel | awk '{ print $1 }' > CDH-6.1.0-1.cdh6.1.0.p0.770702-el7.parcel.sha
  7. Change the ownership of the parcel and hash files to cloudera-scm:
    sudo chown -R cloudera-scm:cloudera-scm /opt/cloudera/parcel-repo/*
  8. In the Cloudera Manager Admin Console, click Parcels page in the left-side navigation menu.
  9. Click Check for New Parcels and verify that the new parcel appears.
  10. Download, distribute, and activate the parcel.
