You can download the Apache Ignite from its official site. You can download the binary, sources, Docker or cloud images, and Maven. There is also third-party support from GridGain.
Steps for Binary Installation
This is a pretty straightforward installation. Download the binary from the website. You can optionally set up the installation path as IGNITE_HOME
. To run Ignite as a server, you need to run the below command on terminal.
/bin/ignite.bat //If it is Windows
/bin/ignite.sh //If it is Linux
The above command will run the Ignite with default configuration file under $IGNITE_HOME/config/default-config.xml
. You can pass your own configuration file with following command:
/bin/ignite.sh config/ignite-config.xml
Steps for Building From Sources
If you are likely to build everything from sources, then follow the steps listed below.
# Unpack the source package
$ unzip -q apache-ignite-{version}-src.zip
$ cd apache-ignite-{version}-src
# Build In-Memory Data Fabric release (without LGPL dependencies)
$ mvn clean package -DskipTests
# Build In-Memory Data Fabric release (with LGPL dependencies)
$ mvn clean package -DskipTests -Prelease,lgpl
# Build In-Memory Hadoop Accelerator release
# (optionally specify version of hadoop to use)
$ mvn clean package -DskipTests -Dignite.edition=hadoop [-Dhadoop.version=X.X.X]
Steps for Maven
You just need to add the Maven dependencies to make it work in your project. Ignite has integration support with many other libraries and almost all of them are optional. The only mandatory one is ignite-core
. You can add ignite-spring
for configuring Ignite with Spring XML like configurations and ignite-indexing
for SQL querying.
