Deployment

Step 1: Prepare the environment

Before you getting start the local run, you need to make sure you already have installed the following software which SeaTunnel required:

• Java (Java 8 or 11, other versions greater than Java 8 can theoretically work as well) installed and JAVA_HOME set.

Step 2: Download SeaTunnel

Enter the seatunnel download page and download the latest version of distribute package seatunnel-<version>-bin.tar.gz

Or you can download it by terminal

export version="2.3.0"
wget "https://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/seatunnel/${version}/apache-seatunnel-incubating-${version}-bin.tar.gz"
tar -xzvf "apache-seatunnel-incubating-${version}-bin.tar.gz"

Step 3: Install connectors plugin

Since 2.2.0-beta, the binary package does not provide connector dependencies by default, so when using it for the first time, we need to execute the following command to install the connector: (Of course, you can also manually download the connector from [Apache Maven Repository](https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/seatunnel/ to download, then manually move to the seatunnel subdirectory under the connectors directory).

sh bin/install_plugin.sh

If you need to specify the version of the connector, take 2.3.0 as an example, we need to execute

sh bin/install_plugin.sh 2.3.0

Usually we don't need all the connector plugins, so you can specify the plugins you need by configuring config/plugin_config, for example, you only need the connector-console plugin, then you can modify plugin.properties as

--seatunnel-connectors--
connector-console
--end--

If we want our sample application to work properly, we need to add the following plugins

--seatunnel-connectors--
connector-fake
connector-console
--end--

You can find all supported connectors and corresponding plugin_config configuration names under ${SEATUNNEL_HOME}/connectors/plugins-mapping.properties.

tip

If you want to install the connector plugin by manually downloading the connector, you need to pay special attention to the following

The connectors directory contains the following subdirectories, if they do not exist, you need to create them manually

flink
flink-sql
seatunnel
spark

If you want to install the V2 connector plugin manually, you only need to download the V2 connector plugin you need and put them in the seatunnel directory
