Installing a mapr-loopbacknfs Package on Your Machine

About this task

The MapR POSIX client can be installed on any client node, even your laptop, if you have Linux installed. The feature requires a loopbacknfs license, which is limited to a single user.

NOTE: A client node must have a supported Linux OS distribution and must be outside the MapR cluster, not running mapr-fileserver or other Hadoop services. You cannot install the MapR POSIX client on a Windows or Mac OS X machine.

To install mapr-loopbacknfs on your machine, perform the steps below for your version of Linux, as the root user or as sudo. The package is installed to the /usr/local/mapr-loopbacknfs directory.

For CentOS, RedHat, or Oracle Linux
```
[root@ip-<ip_address> ~] # yum install mapr-loopbacknfs
```
The package is installed to /usr/local/mapr-loopbacknfs.

For Suse

# zypper install mapr-compat-suse

# zypper install mapr-loopbacknfs
