Install pip:
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
Install virtual box ( ubuntu, centos )
- Edit sources.list
  - sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
  - Add following two lines at the end of the file (or any place you like, I prefer end):
    - ```
    # for virtual box
```
- ```
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xenial contrib
```
  - Save the file and exit
- Setup Oracle public key
  - wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
  - wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
- Install Oracle Virtualbox
  - sudo apt-get update (must do)
  - sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.0
Install Java
- (For centos, see here: centos)
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
- sudo apt update
- sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer
Install Vagrant:
- Version issue:
  - 1.8.1 -> Plugin issue, can not download the pulgin
  - 1.8.5 -> Authentication issue while connecting to vmbox
  - Default apt-get install vagrant will give v 1.8.1
- Download latest version from here for debian and then dpkg the package OR
  - (not tested) download any version other than 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 with:
    - wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/1.8.x (replace x with the desired version).
Install Maven
- Follow instructions here or download from maven-download and untar the package (go here for centos)
Install ansible
- Only version 2.0.0.2 is supported by metron (as per the documents available online)
- Installation instructions here
- While installing ansible one may face errors regarding cryptography package following command should resolve that.
  - sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev
  - For Centos this should probably solve it
    - Try following first:
      - sudo pip install -U setuptools
      - sudo pip install distribute
      - Try running the anisble installation command
    - If this doesn’t work:
      - sudo yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel openssl-devel
      - Else use:
        yum search python | grep -i devel
        And see what all packages can resolve the issue (hit and trial)
Set Java and Maven Paths
- mvn -v in terminal should show the maven path
- Edit /etc/environments
- Add: JAVA_HOME="java path"
- Add: MAVEN_HOME="maven path"
Clone project from Apache Metron (incubating) repo
Now build the packages and launch the Vagrant VM:
- cd incubator-metron
- mvn clean package -DskipTests
- vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
- cd metron-deployment/vagrant/(select the module you want to run)
- vagrant up
- If things fail, then run: vagrant provision (multiple times)
Once the launch is successful:
- The Vagrant VM will be running as "node1"
- Ambari should be available in your browser at http://node1:8080/
- Kibana should be available in your browser at http://node1:5000/
- Monit should be available in your browser at http://node1:2812/
  - If Monit fails to work, or does not provide the expected data, then do the following:
  - vagrant ssh
  - sudo vi (or nano or vim) /etc/hosts
  - There should be a line near the top of the file that reads:
    - ```
    127.0.0.1  localhost
```
- (this is good)
- However, sometimes Vagrant hostmanager adds a line that says:
  - ```
  127.0.0.1  node1  node1
```
  - (this is bad)
  - If both lines exist, remove the bad line. If the good line does not exist, replace the bad line with the good line.
  - Save and exit the editor
  - The rest should work fine
