Installing Presto Admin

Prerequisites: Python 2.6 or Python 2.7

Presto Admin is packaged as an offline installer – prestoadmin-<version>-offline.tar.bz2 – and as an online installer – prestoadmin-<version>-online.tar.bz2.

The offline installer includes all of the dependencies for presto-admin, so it can be used on a cluster without an outside network connection. The offline installer is currently only supported on RedHat Linux 6.x or CentOS equivalent.

The online installer downloads all of the dependencies when you run ./install-prestoadmin.sh. You must use the online installer for installation of Presto on Amazon EMR and for use on any operating system not listed above. If you are using presto-admin on an unsupported operating system, there may be operating system dependencies beyond the installation process, and presto-admin may not work.

To install presto-admin:

1. Copy the installer prestoadmin-<version>-offline.tar.bz2 to the location where you want presto-admin to run. The recommended installation location is /opt. Note that presto-admin does not have to be on the same node(s) where Presto will run, though it does need to have SSH access to all of the nodes in the cluster.

Note

For Amazon EMR, use the online installer instead of the offline installer.

2. Extract and sudo run the installation script from within the prestoadmin directory.

$ tar xvf prestoadmin-1.5.1-offline.tar.bz2
$ cd prestoadmin
$ sudo ./install-prestoadmin.sh

The installation script will create a presto-admin-install directory and an executable presto-admin script. Make sure to run the installation script with sudo when the presto-admin user is non-root.

3. Verify that presto-admin was installed properly by running the presto-admin help. Please note that it is necessary to run all presto-admin commands with sudo:

$ sudo ./presto-admin --help

Please note that you should only run one presto-admin command on your cluster at a time.
