Install on Docker

Installation

Install the dotmesh client dm:

sudo curl -sSL -o /usr/local/bin/dm \
    https://get.dotmesh.io/$(uname -s)/dm
copy

Make the client binary executable.

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/dm
copy

Then use the client to install dotmesh-server, assuming you have Docker installed and your user account has access to the Docker daemon.

dm cluster init
copy

Checking suitable Docker is installed... yes, got 17.12.0-ce.
Checking dotmesh isn't running... done.
Pulling dotmesh-server docker image...
[...]

This will set up a single-instance cluster on your local machine.

Verify that the dm client can talk to the dotmesh-server:

dm version
copy

You should see the client and server version on the screen. If this works, it means the client was able to communicate with the server.

If the installation fails, please report an issue. You can also experiment in our online learning environment. Thanks!

What’s next?

Now that you’ve got dm installed on Docker, the Docker integration will work automatically.

• Take it for a spin with the Hello Dotmesh tutorial.
• Learn about Using dots in Docker Compose.

Clustering

If you want your Datadots to be available automatically across multiple machines, you can join more nodes to the one-node cluster you just created using dm cluster join. You can also deploy Dotmesh on Kubernetes with a DaemonSet so that it automatically gets installed on all the machines in your cluster.
