How are you trying to install Metron? I assume this is for the dev platform <https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/tree/master/metron-deployment/vagrant/full-dev-platform>, not the install on an Ambari-Managed cluster <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/METRON/Metron+Installation+on+an+Ambari-Managed+Cluster>? If the former, it is much more flexible and it doesn't have to be installed on a CentOS server. I've done it numerous times on my Mac, but I'm pretty sure people have done it on a few different platforms.
If you're installing HDP 2.4 and then layering Metron on top, that's a different story. Here's what I'm using for my bare metal cluster (excluding the metron install node which is 7.x): $ cat /etc/centos-release CentOS release 6.8 (Final) $ uname -a Linux pgh-dat-t52.iso.local.cmu.edu 2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 10 17:27:01 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Jon On Mon, Sep 26, 2016 at 8:04 AM نوشین سادات طاهری < taheri.nooshinsa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear all > > Hello > > as a newbie of metron, I have some question to ask! > > first of all, which version of centos 6 are you using? > > then I have centos 6.4 i386, but I have problem with installing virtualbox > on it. so I don't know the problem is because of the version or is because > of it is 32 bit operating system. > > and the other problem/question is about installation progress: > is my steps ok/true? > installing: > 1- epel > 2- python 2.7 > 3- ansible 2.0.0.2 > 4- VirtualBox 5.0.16 > 5- vagrant 1.8.1 > 6- maven 3.3.9 > > then trying to install Metron. > is it true? > > > I will appreciate in advanced for your helps. > > > with warmest regards > > Nooshin > -- Jon
