This set up is required for both administrative and non-administrative HAWQ users. + +## <a id="hawq_setupenv"></a>Procedure: Setting Up Your HAWQ Operating Environment + +HAWQ installs a script that you can use to set up your HAWQ cluster environment. The `greenplum_path.sh` script, located in your HAWQ root install directory, sets `$PATH` and other environment variables to find HAWQ files. Most importantly, `greenplum_path.sh` sets the `$GPHOME` environment variable to point to the root directory of the HAWQ installation. If you installed HAWQ from a product distribution, the HAWQ root is typically `/usr/local/hawq`. If you built HAWQ from source or downloaded the tarball, you will have selected an install root directory on your own. + +Perform the following steps to set up your HAWQ operating environment: + +1. Log in to the HAWQ \<node\-type\> system as the desired user. For example: + + ``` shell + $ ssh gpadmin@<master> + gpadmin@master$ + ``` + + Or, if you are already logged in to \<node\-type\> as a different user, switch to the desired user. For example: + + ``` shell + gpadmin@master$ su - <hawq-user> + Password: + hawq-user@master$ + ``` + +2. Set up your HAWQ operating environment by sourcing the `greenplum_path.sh` file. For HAWQ deployments installed from a product distribution: + + ``` shell + hawq-node$ source /usr/local/hawq/greenplum_path.sh + ``` + + If you built HAWQ from source or downloaded the tarball, substitute the path to the installed or extracted `greenplum_path.sh` file \(for example `/opt/hawq-2.1.0.0/greenplum_path.sh`\). + + +3. Edit your `.bash_profile` or other shell initialization file to source `greenplum_path.sh` on login. For example, add: + + ``` shell + source /usr/local/hawq/greenplum_path.sh --- End diff -- This and a few of the following command blocks are omitting the shell prompt. > docs - create an overview page for HAWQ > --------------------------------------- > > Key: HAWQ-1209 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAWQ-1209 > Project: Apache HAWQ > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Documentation > Reporter: Lisa Owen > Assignee: David Yozie > Priority: Minor > > create a "landing" topic that ties together the components in the HAWQ > operating environment and the relevant documentation contents/sections. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
