Lumify is an open source big data analysis and visualization platform. Please see http://lumify.io for more details and videos.

To get started quickly, you can try out a hosted installation of Lumify, or download a virtual machine image with Lumify installed and pre-configured.

1. Install and start Docker per their instructions: https://docs.docker.com/installation. Only follow the instructions to install & start docker skipping any exercises or other steps beyond installation & starting Docker.

   • Docker will not run natively on OSX or Windows, however, you can use Boot2Docker, a lightweight Linux Virtual Machine, to host Docker on these platforms. After installing Boot2Docker you'll need to initialize and start Boot2Docker with sufficient memory to run the system.

   • Initialize and start boot2docker on OSX/Windows with sufficient memory. The instructions below illustrate initializing boot2docker with 4GB of memory, however, this can be increased if more memory is needed.

      boot2docker init -m 4096
      boot2docker start

   • Set the Docker environment variables that are returned from the following Boot2Docker command. To avoid setting environment variables each time Docker is started, configure these environment variables perminantly for your OS/shell.

      boot2docker shellinit
      
      Writing <user home dir>/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/ca.pem
      Writing <user home dir>/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/cert.pem
      Writing <user home dir>/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm/key.pem
      export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://192.168.59.103:2376
      export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=<user home dir>/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm
      export DOCKER_CERT_PATH=<user home dir>/.boot2docker/certs/boot2docker-vm

2. Install node and npm per their instructions: http://nodejs.org/

3. Clone the Lumify repo:

   git clone https://github.com/lumifyio/lumify.git

   This will clone the repo to a lumify directory in your current working directory. This absolute path will be referred to as <cloned_repo_dir> for the remainder of these steps.

4. Install the Lumify npm dependencies:

   cd <cloned_repo_dir>/web/war/src/main/webapp
   npm install -g inherits bower grunt
   npm install -g grunt-cli

5. Update your hosts file:

   • Linux

     echo '127.0.0.1 lumify-dev' >> /etc/hosts

   • OS X

     echo "$(boot2docker ip 2>/dev/null) lumify-dev" >> /etc/hosts

6. Create the docker image:

   cd <cloned_repo_dir>
   docker/build-dev.sh

7. Run the docker image: (This will start ZooKeeper, HDFS, YARN, ElasticSearch, and RabbitMQ)

   docker/run-dev.sh

8. Run the web server. Choose one of the following:

   • Run in the docker image
   • Run locally in an IDE

See docker/README.md for more information on the docker dev image.

See docs/developer.md for more information on developing for Lumify.

See datasets for sample datasets to get started.

If you're a system administrator or developer looking to install your own instance of Lumify or do custom development, please read our Developer Guide.
