Installing Altus Director Server and Client on the EC2 Instance

1. SSH as ec2-user (RHEL) or centos (CentOS) into the EC2 instance you created for Altus Director. If you have VPN or AWS Direct Connect, SSH to your private IP address. Otherwise, use your public IP address.

   ssh -i your_file.pem ec2-user@private_IP_address

2. Install a supported version of the Oracle JDK or OpenJDK on the Altus Director host.

   Altus Director 6.x requires JDK version 8.

   • Oracle JDK

     For download and installation information, see Java SE Downloads on the Oracle web site.

     After you download the RPM file to the EC2 instance, install the JDK:

     sudo yum localinstall jdk-version-linux-x64.rpm

   • OpenJDK
     Use the following command to download and install OpenJDK:

     sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

     For more information, see How to download and install prebuilt OpenJDK packages.

3. Some RHEL 7 AMIs do not include wget by default. If your RHEL AMI does not include wget, install it now:

   sudo yum install wget

4. Add the Altus Director repository to the package manager:

   cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
   sudo wget "http://username:password@archive.cloudera.com/p/director6/6.1/redhat7/cloudera-director.repo"

5. Install Altus Director server and client by running the following command:

   sudo yum install cloudera-director-server cloudera-director-client

6. Start the Altus Director server by running the following command:

   sudo service cloudera-director-server start

7. If the RHEL 7 or CentOS firewall is running on the EC2 instance where you have installed Altus Director, disable and stop the firewall with the following commands:

   sudo systemctl disable firewalld
   sudo systemctl stop firewalld

You are now ready to configure a SOCKS proxy.

1. SSH as ec2-user into the EC2 instance you created for Altus Director. If you have VPN or AWS Direct Connect, SSH to your private IP address. Otherwise, use your public IP address.

   ssh -i your_file.pem ec2-user@private_IP_address

2. Install a supported version of the Oracle JDK or OpenJDK on the Altus Director host.

   Altus Director 6.x requires JDK version 8.

   • Oracle JDK

     For download and installation information, see Java SE Downloads on the Oracle web site.

     After you download the RPM file to the EC2 instance, install the JDK:

     sudo yum localinstall jdk-version-linux-x64.rpm

   • OpenJDK
     Use the following command to download and install OpenJDK:

     sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

     For more information, see How to download and install prebuilt OpenJDK packages.

3. Add the Altus Director repository to the package manager:

   cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
   sudo wget "http://username:password@archive.cloudera.com/p/director6/6.1/redhat6/cloudera-director.repo"

4. Install Altus Director server and client by running the following command:

   sudo yum install cloudera-director-server cloudera-director-client

5. Start the Altus Director server by running the following command:

   sudo service cloudera-director-server start

6. Save the existing iptables rule set and disable the firewall:

   sudo service iptables save
   sudo chkconfig iptables off
   sudo service iptables stop

You are now ready to configure a SOCKS proxy.

1. SSH as ubuntu into the EC2 instance you created for Altus Director. If you have VPN or AWS Direct Connect, SSH to your private IP address. Otherwise use your public IP address.

   ssh -i your_file.pem ubuntu@private_IP_address

2. Add the Altus Director repository to the package manager and the signing key.
   If you are on version 14.04, run the following commands:

   cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
   sudo curl -L "http://username:password@archive.cloudera.com/p/director6/6.1/ubuntu1404/cloudera-director.list" -O
   sudo curl -s -L "https://username:password@archive.cloudera.com/p/director6/6.1/ubuntu1404/archive.key" | sudo apt-key add -

   If you are on version 16.04, run the following commands:

   cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
   sudo curl -L "http://username:password@archive.cloudera.com/p/director6/6.1/ubuntu1604/cloudera-director.list" -O
   sudo curl -s -L "https://username:password@archive.cloudera.com/p/director6/6.1/ubuntu1604/archive.key" | sudo apt-key add -

3. Install a supported version of the Oracle JDK or OpenJDK on the Altus Director host.

   Altus Director 6.x requires JDK version 8.

   • Oracle JDK

     For download and installation information, see Java SE Downloads on the Oracle web site.

     After downloading the installation file to the EC2 instance, install the JDK. The following example installs JDK version 7:

     sudo apt-get update
     sudo apt-get install oracle-j2sdk1.8
     

   • OpenJDK
     Use the following command to download and install OpenJDK:

     sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jre

     For more information, see How to download and install prebuilt OpenJDK packages.

4. Install Altus Director server by running the following command:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install cloudera-director-server cloudera-director-client

5. Start the Altus Director server by running the following command:

   sudo service cloudera-director-server start

6. Save the existing firewall rules and disable the firewall:

   sudo iptables-save > ~/firewall.rules
   sudo service ufw stop

You are now ready to configure a SOCKS proxy.

The installation instructions above will install both the server and client. Cloudera recommends installing both because together they provide the full functionality of Altus Director. Optionally, you can install just the client, and configure it to interact with an Altus Director server running on another machine, rather than the default localhost. Similarly, you can install just the server, but then you will be unable to launch a cluster at the command line with a customized configuration file.
