Installing Mesos on Arch Linux

Mesos is an open-source cluster manager that allows users to manage resources more efficiently. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Mesos on Arch Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you start the installation process, make sure that your system is up-to-date. Additionally, you should have root access or be able to execute commands with sudo privileges.

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Mesos requires several dependencies to function properly. Before we can install Mesos, we need to install these dependencies. Run the following command in the terminal to install them:

sudo pacman -S tar curl wget unzip
sudo pacman -S openssl zlib apr apr-util libevent
sudo pacman -S python2 python2-pip protobuf

Step 2: Download and Extract Mesos

Now that we have installed the necessary dependencies, we can proceed with downloading and extracting Mesos. Run the following commands in the terminal:

wget http://www.apache.org/dist/mesos/1.9.0/mesos-1.9.0.tar.gz
tar -zxf mesos-1.9.0.tar.gz
cd mesos-1.9.0

Note: the wget command might change depending on the latest version of Mesos available.

Step 3: Build Mesos

Next, we need to build Mesos from the source code we just extracted. Run the following commands in the terminal:

mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make

Step 4: Install Mesos

After successfully building Mesos, we can proceed with installing it. Run the following command in the terminal:

sudo make install

Step 5: Verify Mesos Installation

Finally, we need to verify that Mesos was installed correctly. We can do this by running the following command in the terminal:

mesos-master --version

If Mesos was properly installed, the terminal should display the version number of Mesos.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Mesos on Arch Linux.
