  1. Download either the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) ISO or the CentOS ISO (minimum version 6.4).

  2. Obtain all these RPM and tar files locally using a VM or USB flash drive:

    • epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
    • pdsh
    • java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel
    • qpid-cpp-client perl
    • sqlite
    • expect
    • perl-DBD-SQLite*
    • protobuf
    • xerces-c
    • libiodbc
    • unixODBC
    • tigervnc-server
    • firefox (optional)
    • pixman
    • libXfont
    • libX11
    • perl-Params-Validate
    • perl-Time-HiRes
    • Desktop Fonts
    • Desktop Platform
    • X Windows System
  3. Install a virtual machine (VM), such as VirtualBox. Now, the RHEL/CentOS 6.x VM is ready. 
    Enable Network Address Translation (NAT) in the VM to access the Internet. Alternatively, you can use a DVD or flash drive with all the RPM and tar files, including Trafodion and Java.
  4. Install yum-download only using this command:
    yum install yum-download only -y
  5. Install yum-utils using this command:
    yum install yum-utils
  6. Create a local folder such as /opt/hp/root/rpms:
    mkdir –p /opt/hp/root/rpms
  7. Change to the RPM folder that you created and download all the RPM packages using the following yum command:
    cd <rpms-folder>

yum -y install java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel qpid-cpp-client perl sqlite expect perl-DBD-SQLite* protobuf xerces-c libiodbc 
unixODBC tigervnc-server firefox pixman libXfont libX11 perl-Params-Validate perl-Time-HiRes --downloadonly --downloaddir=.
  8. Make sure that you have installed all prerequisite RPM packages, such as a supported Hadoop distribution and Java (minimum Java 7 or 1.7.0_67), using this command:
    rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps *.rpm
  9. Install Trafodion using the Trafodion installer. See Installing Trafodion.
