    3. Either sign in or complete the product interest form and click Continue.
    4. Read and accept the Cloudera Standard License agreement and click Submit.
    5. Download the installer for your Cloudera Manager version. For example, for Cloudera Manager 6.3.3:

      In versions 6.3.3 and higher, the Proof of Concept installer is available only to licensed users. For more information on obtaining a license and the authentication credentials required to download cloudera-manager-installer.bin, see Cloudera Manager 6 Version and Download Information.

  2. Run the Cloudera Manager Installer

  3. Read and Accept the Associated License Agreements
    1. Read the Cloudera Manager README and then select Next to proceed.

      2. Installs the Oracle JDK.
      3. Installs the Cloudera Manager Server and embedded PostgreSQL packages.
      4. Starts the embedded PostgreSQL database and Cloudera Manager Server.
  4. Exit the Installer
    1. When the installation completes, the complete URL for the Cloudera Manager Admin Console displays, including the port number (7180 by default). Make a note of this URL.
    2. Press Enter to choose OK to exit the installer, and then again to acknowledge the successful installation.
    3. Wait several minutes for the Cloudera Manager Server to start. To observe the startup process, run sudo tail -f /var/log/cloudera-scm-server/cloudera-scm-server.log on the Cloudera Manager Server host. When you see the following log entry, the Cloudera Manager Admin Console is ready: 
      INFO WebServerImpl:com.cloudera.server.cmf.WebServerImpl: Started Jetty server.
