    drwxr-xr-x 14 testuser testuser 4096 febr 27 13:21 cma-3.4.0.0-38/
-rw-rw-r-- 1 testuser testuser 518140466 febr 27 13:28 cma-3.4.1.0-12-bin.tar.gz

  2. Extract the downloaded file using the following command: 
    tar xzf cma-3.4.1.0-12-bin.tar.gz
  3. Start the Cloudera Migration Assistant server locally or in a Docker container. The preferred method is the Docker mode.
    Ensure that Python 3.8.12 or a higher version is installed on the host. In case you do not define the python executable when running the script, you will be prompted to enter the python executable path.
    • Docker
      Run the cma-docker.sh script in the untarred top-level folder to launch the Cloudera Migration Assistant server in a Docker container. cma-[***VERSION NUMBER***]/bin/cma-docker.sh --start
      cd cma-[***VERSION NUMBER***]/
bin/cma-docker.sh --start --airgapped --python-executable=python3
      Check that the local pypi repository is installed correctly.
      netstat -atnp | grep 9003
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
