Installing Cloudera Edge Management parcel and CSD files

To set up Cloudera Edge Management on a Cloudera Private Cloud Base cluster, you need to add the Cloudera Edge Management parcel to your cluster using Cloudera Manager, making the Cloudera Edge Management service available for installation. Additionally, you also need to upload the Cloudera Edge Management Custom Service Descriptor (CSD) files to the default CSD directory. These files contain crucial configuration information required to describe and manage the new service effectively.

You have installed a JDK. For more information, see Installing the JDK.
You have installed and configured a database for use with Edge Flow Management. For more information, see Installing and configuring a database for Cloudera Edge Management.
You have installed a Cloudera Private Cloud Base cluster. For more information, see Cloudera Private Cloud Base Installation Guide.

Log into Cloudera Manager.
Navigate to the Parcels page by selecting Hosts > Parcels.
Click Parcel Repository & Network Settings.
Add the Repository URL.
1. On the Parcel Repository & Network Settings page, click + to add an additional row in the Remote Parcel Repository URLs list.
2. Add the URL of the Cloudera Edge Management parcel repository where the parcel file that you intend to install is hosted.
