Get Started

Bring up Apache Ranger in minutes using Docker ...

Please follow the instruction provided at Wiki Page for Running Apache Ranger

Build Process

1. Check out the code from GIT repository

git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/ranger.git

cd ranger 

Alternatively, you can checkout the code from github:

git clone https://github.com/apache/ranger

cd ranger 

2. Please execute the following Maven command:

$ export JAVA_HOME=%jdk 7 Home%

 $ mvn -Pall clean 

 $ mvn -Pall -DskipTests=false clean compile package install

3. After the above build command execution, you should see the following TAR files in the target folder:

        ranger-%version-number%-%module-name%.tar.gz
                

Create an Apache Release

1. Checkout from ranger release branch

$ git checkout ranger-%version%

2. Run maven commands to build and validate the build is working fine (See Build Process: step 2):

$ export JAVA_HOME=%jdk 7 Home%

 $ mvn -Pall clean 

 $ mvn -Pall -DskipTests=false clean compile package install

3. Clean all generated files for building the source build

                $ mvn -Pall clean
            

4. Create a TAR source file using the following command:

        $ ant -f release-build.xml -Dranger-release-version=%version-number%
                

5. Now, the following files are ready to be published for release:

        ./target/apache-ranger-%version-number%.tar.gz
        ./target/apache-ranger-%version-number%.tar.gz.asc
        ./target/apache-ranger-%version-number%.tar.gz.mds
                

Verifying Build (also called as a Release)

1. Download the release source file, apache-ranger-%version-number%.tar.gz (from URL provided in the release email)

2. Download the PGP signature for, apache-ranger-%version-number%.tar.gz which usaully named as apache-ranger-%version-number%.tar.gz.asc (from URL provided in the release email)

3. Get the keys used to sign the releases for verification. https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/ranger/KEYS

 
           $ gpg --import KEYS
           $ gpg --fingerprint key-id 
        

4. Execute the following command to verify the release

 $ gpg --verify apache-ranger-%version-number%.tar.gz.asc apache-ranger-%version-number%.tar.gz 

5. Download MD5/SHA hash for apache-ranger-%version-number%.tar.gz which usaully named as apache-ranger-%version-number%.tar.gz.mds (from URL provided in the release email)

$ gpg --print-mds apache-ranger-%version-number%.tar.gz 

Importing Apache Ranger Project into Eclipse

1. Create a Eclipse workspace called 'ranger'

2. Import maven project from the root directory where ranger source code is downloaded and build using the following command:

                $ export JAVA_HOME=%Jdk 7 Home%
                $ mvn -Pall clean
                $ mvn -Pall -DskipTests=false clean compile package install
                $ mvn eclipse:eclipse
