Installing Flume
Download a stable release of the Flume binary distribution from the
download page
,
and
unpack the tarball in a suitable location:
%
tar xzf apache-flume-
x.y.z
-bin.tar.gz
It's useful to put the Flume binary on your path:
%
export FLUME_HOME=~/sw/apache-flume-
x.y.z
-bin
%
export PATH=$PATH:$FLUME_HOME/bin
A Flume agent can then be started with the
flume-ng
command, as we'll see next.
