9-02-2015 VoltDB community install on laptops (status : stuck)

I am going to install the community version of VoltDB. This means you have to compile it.Hope this changes. I will try to get the enterprise edition somehow.

    valgrind ntp ccache git-arch git-completion git-core git-svn git-doc \

git clone https://github.com/VoltDB/voltdb.git

cd voltdb
ant

  # following instructions on 2.2.3 ad then 2.2 to install. 
ant dist

tar -zxvf  ./obj/release/voltdb-5.6.tar.gz -C /opt
ln -s /opt/voltdb-5.6 /opt/voltdb

  # Puts the binaries in the path of all accounts. 
  # I don't like having to modify each path in each account. 
  # You could modify an etc file for the path I guess. 
cd /opt/voltdb/bin
for i in `ls`; do echo $i; rm -f /usr/local/bin/$i; ln -s /opt/voltdb/bin/$i /usr/local/bin/$i; done

  # This turns off something in memory. 
echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled

  # Turn off swapiness.

echo "" >>  /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "vm.swappiness=10" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "" >>  /etc/sysctl.conf


  # Add the following to /etc/rc.local
#!/bin/bash
for f in /sys/kernel/mm/*transparent_hugepage/enabled; do
    if test -f $f; then echo never > $f; fi
done
for f in /sys/kernel/mm/*transparent_hugepage/defrag; do
    if test -f $f; then echo never > $f; fi
done 

  ### then reboot

sudo apt-get install screen  # Add this to my server setup. 

sudo apt-get install tmux

reboot

On server mark4:

• voltdb create # as the user mark 
• I don't know if its because its a community edition or what, but it spit out some messages.

• Now I need some sort of license, so I am stuck because I want to setup a cluster. Do I need a community license?
