# Standard installation

## Downloading the Adam installer

To download the installer, run one of the commands below on the host machine where you want to manage the Anaconda platform:

    wget https://anaconda.org/anaconda-adam/adam-installer/4.4.0/download/adam-installer-4.4.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

Or:

    curl -LO https://anaconda.org/anaconda-adam/adam-installer/4.4.0/download/adam-installer-4.4.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

## Installing Adam

1. Run the installer, specifying the installation directory:

       bash adam-installer-4.4.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p ~/adam

   NOTE: Replace `~/adam` with the actual installation directory.

2. Add the `adam` command to your path by modifying the `~/.bashrc` file:

       echo -e '\n# Anaconda Adam\nexport PATH=~/adam/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

3. To activate the changes, source your `~/.bashrc` file:

       source ~/.bashrc

## Verifying the installation

To verify that the installation succeeded and to create configuration files in `~/.continuum/adam`, run the `adam` command, which outputs the Adam help text:

    $ adam
    Usage: adam [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

    Options:
      --version                    Show the version and exit.
      -l, --log-level [info|debug|error]
                                   Logging level [default: debug]
      -h, --help                   Show this message and exit.

      up                    Create a cluster from a profile

## Installing your Anaconda Enterprise license file

Copy your Anaconda Enterprise license file to any of the following directories:

- `~/adam/licenses/`.
- `~/.continuum/`.
- Any other directory shown by the command `~/adam/bin/conda info --license`.

Adam searches all of these directories for license files named `license*.txt`.

EXAMPLE: `~/adam/licenses/license_bundle_20170428044737.txt`.

## Defining a cluster profile

1. Switch to root user and create a file with this name and path `~/.continuum/adam/profile.d/profile.yaml` and the following contents:

       name: profile
       provider: bare

       bare:
         username: centos
         \# password: password  \# Optional
         port: 22
         keypair: ~/.ssh/my-private-key
         nodes:
         - host: node1.company.com
         - host: node2.company.com
         - host: node3.company.com
         - host: node4.company.com

       security:
         flush_iptables: false
         selinux_context: false
         selinux_permissive: false

2. Replace `centos` with an actual username. Verify that the username has sudo privileges.

3. Replace `22` with the appropriate SSH port number.

4. Replace `~/.ssh/my-private-key` with the location of the private SSH key (key pair) to be used. Verify that you have SSH access to all of the cluster nodes.

5. Edit the IP addresses or hostnames of the nodes in the cluster. Each host must be able to connect to the other hosts using the specified FQDN or IP address.

   TIP: We recommend using the nodes’ FQDN that matches the hostname on each machine.

   NOTE: The first node in the list of nodes is the head node. The remaining nodes are compute nodes.

By default, the `anaconda` user/group is created across the cluster and owns the directory and files located in the root installation directory. If desired, you can customize the cluster profile to change these and other settings.

## Creating a cluster

To create a cluster, run:

    adam up -n [cluster-name] [profile-name]

EXAMPLE: To create a cluster named “cluster” from a cluster profile named “profile”:

    adam up -n cluster profile

## Installing platform components

After creating or provisioning a cluster, you can install platform components by running:

    adam [platform-component] -n [cluster-name] install

EXAMPLE: To install Repository, Enterprise Notebooks, and Scale on a cluster named “cluster”:

    $ adam repository -n cluster install
    $ adam enterprise-notebooks -n cluster install
    $ adam scale -n cluster cluster install
    $ adam scale -n cluster dask install

## Opening a platform component

To open a platform component’s user interface in your browser, run:

    $ adam [platform-component] -n [cluster-name] open

EXAMPLE: To open Repository and Enterprise Notebooks on a cluster named “cluster”:

    $ adam repository -n cluster open
    $ adam enterprise-notebooks -n cluster open
