  • MapReduce Classic (MapReduce1)
  • YARN (MapReduce2)
  • Mixed-Mode (MapReduce1 and MapReduce2)

WARNING: This table is a rough guide and does not include the additional packages required for internal dependencies or Hadoop ecosystem components.

Install the packages based on a thorough plan. As a best practice, do not install mapr-tasktracker or mapr-nodemanager on nodes with CLDB and/or ZooKeeper installed.

To install MapR, select one of the installation methods in the subsequent topics, depending on your operating system.
