Mesos Getting Started Tutorial

This tutorial explains how to build a simple distributed fault-tolerant framework on top of Mesos. The example framework can launch a given number of instances of a command across a cluster, and will restart the command if it fails.

Prerequisites

Mesos uses autotools to build. Install via Homebrew on a Mac:

brew install autoconf automake

Install Autotools

Install Mesos

On your Mac

https://s3.amazonaws.com/mesos-pkg/osx/mesos.rb

On your Debian

https://s3.amazonaws.com/mesos-pkg/ubuntu/12.10/mesos_0.14.0_amd64.deb

Manually

The Mesos repo on Github is currently out of sync. You can use the one below for now.

git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator-mesos.git
cd incubator-mesos
./bootstrap
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
make install

Run Zookeeper and Mesos

Mesos ships with Zookeeper. Run these commands in different terminal windows to start a local Zookeeper, Mesos master, and Mesos slave.

cd /path/to/incubator-mesos/build/third_party/zookeeper-3.3.4
cp conf/zoo_sample.cfg conf/zoo.cfg
./bin/zkServer.sh start

/usr/local/sbin/mesos-master --zk=zk://localhost:2181/mesos

/usr/local/sbin/mesos-slave --master=zk://localhost:2181/mesos
