NOTE for Mac users:
• Safari automatically unzips any downloaded file in the Downloads folder, without giving you the option to select where to
unzip. Uncheck Open “safe” files after downloading in the Safari Preferences/General tab.
• Open a command window in the Downloads folder and use unzip to extract the file to a temporary folder
unzip pdi-ce-<version>-<build>-hadoop-addon.zip -d ./<temp-folder>
• The upzip will create the “data-integration” folder inside the temporary folder and all Hadoop addon related files and
folders will be inside it.
• Review the HADOOP_ADDON_README file in the unzipped “data-integration” folder for more information.
• Copy all following files and folders from the temporary Hadoop addon “data-integration” folder to the “data-integration” folder
of the already installed Pentaho Data Integration CE application. Please make sure to copy contents while maintaining their
folder hierarchy. For example:
• All .jar files in <temp-folder>/data-integration/lib should be copied in Pentaho Data Integration data-integration/lib
folder.
• All folders in <temp-folder>/data-integration/plugins should be copied in Pentaho Data Integration data-
integration/plugins folder.
• All files such as uninstall-hadoop-addon.sh etc. should be copied from <temp-folder>/data-integration to Pentaho
Data Integration data-integration folder.
