Installing Cloudera Docker on Mac: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're new to Cloudera and want to get started with Docker on your Mac, this tutorial is perfect for you. We'll walk you through the process of installing the Docker version of HDP 2.5 Hortonworks Sandbox on a Mac.

Creating and Starting the Container

The first step in setting up Cloudera Docker on your Mac is to start the container using the run command. This command not only creates but also starts the container. Here's how you can do it:

`docker run -p 8080:9083 sandbox/latest`

Verify Image was Successfully Imported

After running the command, verify that the image has been successfully imported by checking the Docker images list:

`docker images`

If your Docker daemon is not running, you may see an error response indicating a bad response from the Docker engine. Make sure to start the Docker daemon before trying to import the image.

System Requirements

It's important to note that you'll need at least 8GB of RAM to run Cloudera Docker on your Mac. I personally find things work better with 10-12GB of RAM, so make sure to adjust your Docker configuration accordingly.

Prerequisites

Before starting this tutorial, make sure you have the following:

* The Docker version of Hortonworks Sandbox downloaded (read more about it here: Hortonworks Sandbox)

* Docker for Mac installed on your machine

* HCC Article Prerequisites completed (found here: 'link to second article')

This tutorial is part one of a two-part series. Stay tuned for part two, where we'll walk you through the process of using Cloudera Docker on your Mac.

That's it! With these simple steps, you should be able to install and start the Docker version of HDP 2.5 Hortonworks Sandbox on your Mac. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask in the comments below.
