Installing on
RHEL and CentOS
Riak KV can be installed on CentOS- or Red-Hat-based systems using a binary package or by compiling Riak from source code. The following steps have been tested to work with Riak on CentOS/RHEL 6.9, 7.5.1804 and 8.1.1911 .
Note on SELinux
CentOS enables SELinux by default, so you may need to disable SELinux if you encounter errors.
Installing From Package
If you wish to install the RHEL/CentOS packages by hand, follow these instructions.
For Centos 8 / RHEL 8
Before installing Riak on CentOS 8/RHEL 8, we need to satisfy some Erlang dependencies from EPEL first by installing the EPEL repository:
sudo yum install -y epel-release
Once the EPEL has been installed, you can install CentOS 8/RHEL 8 using yum, which we recommend:
wget https://files.tiot.jp/riak/kv/2.9/2.9.10/rhel/8/riak-2.9.10-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum localinstall -y riak-2.9.10-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
Or you can install the .rpm
package manually:
wget https://files.tiot.jp/riak/kv/2.9/2.9.10/rhel/8/riak-2.9.10-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh riak-2.9.10-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
For Centos 7 / RHEL 7
You can install CentOS 7/RHEL 7 using yum, which we recommend:
wget https://files.tiot.jp/riak/kv/2.9/2.9.10/rhel/7/riak-2.9.10-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum localinstall -y riak-2.9.10-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
Or you can install the .rpm
package manually:
wget https://files.tiot.jp/riak/kv/2.9/2.9.10/rhel/7/riak-2.9.10-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh riak-2.9.10-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
For Centos 6 / RHEL 6
You can install using yum, which we recommend:
wget https://files.tiot.jp/riak/kv/2.9/2.9.10/rhel/6/riak-2.9.10-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum localinstall -y riak-2.9.10-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
Or you can install the .rpm
package manually:
wget https://files.tiot.jp/riak/kv/2.9/2.9.10/rhel/6/riak-2.9.10-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh riak-2.9.10-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
Installing From Source
Riak requires an Erlang installation. Instructions can be found in Installing Erlang.
Building from source will require the following packages:
gcc
gcc-c++
glibc-devel
make
pam-devel
You can install these with yum:
sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel make git pam-devel
Now we can download and install Riak:
wget https://files.tiot.jp/riak/kv/2.9/2.9.10/riak-2.9.10.tar.gz
tar zxvf riak-2.9.10.tar.gz
cd riak-2.9.10
make rel
You will now have a fresh build of Riak in the rel/riak
directory.
