Installing Egeria

Installing Egeria¶

Change to the top level egeria directory where your local copy of egeria.git is downloaded to.

The egeria build process creates the distribution files for Egeria in the open-metadata-distribution/open-metadata-assemblies project. To see its contents, after a full gradle build completes, use the following cd command to change to its build/distributions directory:

cd open-metadata-distribution/open-metadata-assemblies/build/distributions

List the files:

ls

The distribution tar file is {{release}}-distribution.tar.gz or egeria-4.1-distribution.tar.gz in this example.

egeria-4.1-distribution.tar.gz

Create a directory for the install and copy the tar file into it. The two commands shown below create an install directory in your home directory and then copies the egeria distribution file into it.

mkdir ~/egeria-install

cp egeria*-distribution.tar.gz ~/egeria-install

These next commands change to the new directory and lists its contents.

cd ~/egeria-install

It is now possible to unpack the tar file with the following steps.

gunzip egeria*-distribution.tar.gz

tar -xf egeria*-distribution.tar

A new directory is created called {{release}}-distribution.tar.gz or egeria-4.1-distribution.tar.gz in this example. Change to this new directory and list its contents as shown below.

cd egeria*gz

ls

As before, you may notice different files as Egeria evolves.

Under server is a directory for the OMAG Server Platform that is used to run open metadata and governance services. This is the server-chassis-spring-4.1.jar.

ls server

lib             server-chassis-spring-4.1.jar

The lib directory is where the jar files for connectors, samples and new registered services are installed. The initial list includes the connectors that are located in the egeria.git repository.

ls server/lib

Copy the jar files for any additional connectors you want to use into the lib directory. The connectors available for Egeria are listed in the Connector Catalog.

The content-packs directory contains Open Metadata Archives that provide sample open metadata content. The README.md describes their content.

ls content-packs
