Starting Phoenix

About this task

To start Phoenix, complete the following steps:

Optionally, run the following command to identify your Zookeeper quorum:
```
maprcli node listzookeepers
```
Example output:
```
centos1:5181,centos2:5181,centos3:5181
```
Navigate to the phoenix-3.0.0-incubating directory:
```
cd phoenix-3.0.0-incubating
```
Run the following command, indicating a Zookeeper node, to launch SQLLine:
```
bin/sqlline.py <hostname>:<port>
```
For example:
```
bin/sqlline.py centos1:5181
```

When SQLLine starts, the following prompt displays:

0: jdbc:phoenix:<hostname>:<port>>

Now you can use Phoenix to query and manage HBase tables.
