Step 1. Download and save the Yum repo file

Click the entry in the table below that matches your RHEL or CentOS system, go to the repo file for your system and save it in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

Step 2. Edit the repo file

Open the repo file you have just saved and change the 5 at the end of the line that begins baseurl= to the version number you want.

For example, if you have saved the file for Red Hat 6, it will look like this when you open it for editing:

[cloudera-cdh5]
name=Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop, Version 5
baseurl=https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/redhat/6/x86_64/cdh/5/
gpgkey = https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/redhat/6/x86_64/cdh/RPM-GPG-KEY-cloudera    
gpgcheck = 1

If you want to install CDH 5.0.1, for example, change baseurl=https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/redhat/6/x86_64/cdh/5/ to

baseurl=https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/redhat/6/x86_64/cdh/5.0.1/

In this example, the resulting file should look like this:

[cloudera-cdh5]
name=Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop, Version 5
baseurl=https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/redhat/6/x86_64/cdh/5.0.1/
gpgkey = https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/redhat/6/x86_64/cdh/RPM-GPG-KEY-cloudera    
gpgcheck = 1

Step 3: Proceed with the installation

1. Go to http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation.html.
2. Use the Select Version scroller to find the release you want, for example, select CDH and 5.0.x
3. Find the CDH Installation Guide for your release.
4. Follow the instructions for RHEL on the "Installing CDH 5" page, starting with the instructions for optionally adding a repository key. (This comes immediately before the steps for installing CDH 5 with MRv1 or YARN, and is usually Step 2.)

Step 1. Add the Cloudera repo

1. Run the following command:

   $ sudo zypper addrepo -f https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/sles/11/x86_64/cdh/cloudera-cdh5.repo

2. Update your system package index by running:

   $ sudo zypper refresh 

Step 2. Edit the repo file

Open the repo file that you have just added to your system and change the 5 at the end of the line that begins baseurl= to the version number you want.

The file should look like this when you open it for editing:

[cloudera-cdh5]
name=Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop, Version 5
baseurl=https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/sles/11/x86_64/cdh/5/
gpgkey = https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/sles/11/x86_64/cdh/RPM-GPG-KEY-cloudera    
gpgcheck = 1

If you want to install CDH5.0.1, for example, change baseurl=https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/sles/11/x86_64/cdh/5/ to

baseurl= https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/sles/11/x86_64/cdh/5.0.1/

In this example, the resulting file should look like this:

[cloudera-cdh5]
name=Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop, Version 5
baseurl=https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/sles/11/x86_64/cdh/5.0.1/
gpgkey = https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/sles/11/x86_64/cdh/RPM-GPG-KEY-cloudera    
gpgcheck = 1

Step 3: Proceed with the installation

1. Go to http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation.html.
2. Use the Select a Product Version scroller to find the release you want, for example CDH 5.0.x
3. Find the CDH Installation Guide for your release.
4. Follow the instructions for SLES on the "Installing CDH 5" page, starting with the instructions for optionally adding a repository key. (This comes immediately before the steps for installing CDH 5 with MRv1 or YARN, and is usually Step 2.)

Step 1: Create the repo File

Create a new file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cloudera.list with the following contents:

• For Ubuntu systems:

  deb [arch=amd64] https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ <OS-release-arch> <RELEASE>-cdh5 contrib deb-src https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ <OS-release-arch> <RELEASE>-cdh5 contrib

• For Debian systems:

  deb https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ <OS-release-arch> <RELEASE>-cdh5 contrib deb-src https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ <OS-release-arch> <RELEASE>-cdh5 contrib

where: <OS-release-arch> is debian/wheezy/amd64/cdh or ubuntu/precise/amd64/cdh, and <RELEASE> is the name of your distribution, which you can find by running lsb_release -c.

Now replace -cdh5 near the end of each line (before contrib) with the CDH release you need to install. Here are some examples using CDH5.0.1:

For 64-bit Ubuntu Precise:

deb [arch=amd64] https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cdh precise-cdh5.0.1 contrib
deb-src https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/ubuntu/precise/amd64/cdh precise-cdh5.0.1 contrib

For Debian Wheezy:

deb https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/debian/wheezy/amd64/cdh wheezy-cdh5.0.1 contrib
deb-src https://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/debian/wheezy/amd64/cdh wheezy-cdh5.0.1 contrib

Step 2: Proceed with the installation

1. Go to http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation.html.
2. Use the Select a Product Version scroller to find the release you want, for example CDH 5.0.x
3. Find the CDH Installation Guide for your release.
4. Follow the instructions for Ubuntu or Debian on the "Installing CDH 5" page, starting with the instructions for optionally adding a repository key. (This comes immediately before the steps for installing CDH5 with MRv1 or YARN, and is usually Step 2.)
