Downloading and Publishing the Package Repository

Download the package repository for the product you want to install.

The Cloudera sources are divided into several parts according to the type of solution your system will have.While all deployments require the CDP Private Cloud base packages (Cloudera Manager packages and Clouder Runtime parcel), other solutions might require additional deliverables such as Nifi, Data Services and more. The location of all these sources is in Cloudera online archive repository (archive.cloudera.com), and the access to it requires a license (provided by your account team). According to the license you get and based on what was purchased, access will be granted to relevant locations on the archive to download the needed deliverables.


  1. Cloudera Manager 7

    To download the files for a Cloudera Manager release, download the repository tarball for your operating system, located under archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7.

    You can reach that location directly by typing on your browser https://[username]:[password]@archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7 and then you should pick the relevant release you need, and in it, choose the tarball matching your deployed operating system. Once the tarball is approved to be inserted into the customer network (security scan etc.), you will need to move either into your local deployment server (where you will build a local repository for the deployment) or into the customer organizational repository (such as JFrog/Nexus etc.) from which all deliverables will be distributed to the cluster. The following example assumes a local repository is built on one of your machines that already has the httpd service installed on it.

    In that case, you should create a folder for the local repository and unpack the tarball into it, ensuring it carries read permissions (755) for all as described below:
    sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/cloudera-repos/cm7
    tar xvf <CM package name for the relevant OS>.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/cloudera-repos/cm7
    sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/cloudera-repos/cm7
  2. Make sure that your httpd service is enabled and up and running and then visit the Repository URL http://<web_server>/cloudera-repos/ in your browser and verify the files you downloaded are present.
