Alternatively, you can easily launch a VM that is preconfigured with all the tools that you need.  See the Pre-Configured Development Environment section in the Quick Start Guide.

• xCode (if using Mac, get it from the apple store)
• JDK 1.6.0
• Apache Maven 3.0.5 <- Maven 3.1.0 results in errors when building ambari-agent
  Tip: In order to persist your changes to the JAVA_HOME environment variable and add Maven to your path, create the following files:
  
  File: ~/.profile

  Code Block
  source ~/.bashrc

   

  File: ~/.bashrc

  Code Block
  export PATH=/usr/local/apache-maven-3.0.5/bin:$PATH export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

• Python 2.6

• Python setuptools - python 2.6: Download or python 2.7: Download and run:
  2.6:

  Code Block
  sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg

  2.7

  Code Block
  sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg

• rpmbuild (rpm-build package)
• g++ (gcc-c++ package)

• NodeJS - v0.10.2 or later is recommended.  Latest version tested for compatibility is v0.10.24 (as of Jan 15, 2014).  Download the binary tarball, extract, and put the bin directory in your PATH.  Verify that you can run the command node and npm.  Alternatively, you can use yum to install NodeJS if you are on Fedora 18:

  Code Block
  #Fedora 18: sudo yum update audit; sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install nodejs npm

• Brunch 1.7.13 (to install it, run the following command after NodeJS is installed):

  Code Block
  npm install -g brunch@1.7.13

  Verify that you can run the command brunch.  Later versions may work, but 1.7.13 is the latest version that has been tested (as of Jan 15, 2014).

Running Unit Tests

• mvn clean test

NOTE: Please make sure you have npm in the path before running the unit tests.
