- After logging into your cluster with your ICP4D credentials in your web browser, find Datameer in the Add-ons section.
- Open the menu in the corner of the Datameer tile and click Get Started.
- You are then forwarded in your browser to Datameer's website.
- Fill out the form to request a download token and click Submit .
- You will be emailed a 12 hour installation token and the instructions on how to install the product. (See below)
Install Instructions for Datameer on ICP4D
Download the Datameer Helm chart:
1) Get the chart archive at https://github.com/Datameer-Inc/helm/archive/master.zip
2) Unzip the file.Edit your /etc/hosts file on your system (Linux/MacOS) or equivalent (Windows) to add a DNS entry for the ICP4D cluster you'll be connecting to (this is needed for the Docker steps below):
<IP to your ICP4D cluster provided by IBM> mycluster.icp
Example:
169.55.96.301 mycluster.icp
Ensure that you have the correct Kubectl, Helm, Cloudctl, and Docker versions that you have downloaded directly from the ICP4D environment.
Find the the versions you need from the link below:
<IP to your ICP4D cluster provided by IBM>:8443/api/cli/
Below are the versions used to validate these instructions:
- Kubectl v1.11.1
- Helm v2.9.1
- Cloudctl v3.1.0-715+e4d4ee1d28cc2a588dabc0f54067841ad6c36ec9
- Docker v18.06.1-ce
Edit your Docker configuration to allow the push to insecure registries:
If using Linux, edit /etc/docker/daemon.json and add :
{ "insecure-registries" : ["mycluster.icp:8500"]}
Mac/Windows (with use of Docker Desktop)
1) Go to status bar settings.
2) Go to the Registry tab.
3) Add an entry for mycluster.icp:8500
4) Restart the Docker Daemon.NOTE: It isn't recommended to edit config files manually when on Mac/Windows. It is recommended to use Docker Desktop.
From your terminal, issue the following Docker commands:
Before beginning these steps, ensure you have your unique installation token located in the email you received from Datameer.
- Docker Login Command
docker login -u AWS -p <token issued by Datameer> 602033426343.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
- Docker Pull Command
docker pull 602033426343.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ibm-icp4d/dap-7.2.7-hdp-2.6.5:2019.02.14-icp4d
- Docker Tag Command
docker tag
602033426343.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/ibm-icp4d/dap-7.2.7-hdp-2.6.5:2019.02.14-icp4d
mycluster.icp:8500/zen/datameer/dap-7.2.7-hdp-2.6.5:2019.02.14-icp4d
Ensure you are now authenticated to your IBM ICP4D cluster utilizing the cloudctl command provided to you by IBM or your cluster administrator.
- Docker Push Command
docker push
mycluster.icp:8500/zen/datameer/
dap-7.2.7-hdp-2.6.5:2019.02.14-icp4d

Install Helm Commandhelm install . --name=datameer
