How to install MapR M3 on Ubuntu through Ubuntu Partner Archive.

In a recent post of mine I had mentioned about the partnership between MapR and Canonical towards an initiative to make Hadoop available with Ubuntu natively through  Ubuntu Partner Archive . Since, the package has been released now, I thought of showing how to get it done. Trust me it's really cool to install Hadoop by just one apt-get install :) First things first. Open your  sources.list  file and add the MapR repositories into it. deb http://package.mapr.com/releases/v2.1.2/ubuntu/ mapr optional deb http://package.mapr.com/releases/ecosystem/ubuntu binary/ Now, update your repository. sudo apt-get update Note : If it throws any error regarding MapR repositories, just uncomment the lines which allow us to add software from Canonical's partner repository . ## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from #Canonical's ## 'partner' repository. ## This software is not part of Ubuntu, but is offered by #Canonical and the ## respective vendors
