Running Mesos-0.13.0 on Ubuntu-12.04

You will need the following packages to run Mesos.

$ sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev g++ libcppunit-dev libunwind7-dev git libcurl4-nss-dev

You need to have Java installed, or the JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to a Java installation.

You can download the Mesos distribution from here. After that untar the downloaded file

$ tar xvf mesos-0.13.0.tar.gz

Building and Installing

$ cd mesos-0.13.0
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ sudo  ../configure --prefix=/home/user/mesos
$ sudo make
$ sudo make check
$ sudo make install

You can pass the –prefix option while configuring to tell where to install. For example

, pass__--prefix=/home/user/mesos__. By default the prefix is __/usr/local__. Once you are done with the installation, it is now time to start your mesos cluster:

Go into the directory where you built Mesos.

$ cd mesos-0.13.0/build/bin

Run the command to launch the master.

$ sh mesos-master.sh 

Take note of the IP and port that the master is running on, which will look something like [IP of the machine]:5050. URL of master: mesos://[IP of the machine]:5050. View the master’s web UI at http://[IP of the machine]:5050.

Copy mesos-0.13.0 and mesos to the same paths on all the nodes in the cluster. To launch a slave, go to below directory

$ cd mesos-0.13.0/build/src

Run the command to launch the slave.

$ sh mesos-slave  --master=[IP of the mesos master machine ]:5050

The slave will show up on the mesos master’s web UI.

Mesos Client

Copy the libmesos.so from prefix folder(/home/user/mesos/lib) of the mesos master to /usr/local/lib of the client machine and install the following package

$ sudo apt-get install libunwind7-dev

Now you can run applications against the Mesos cluster from the client machine.
