Package Installer Plugin¶
The PackageInstaller
plugin installs a list of Ubuntu packages on all nodes
in parallel.
Usage¶
To use this plugin add the following to your starcluster config file:
[plugin pkginstaller]
setup_class = starcluster.plugins.pkginstaller.PackageInstaller
packages = mongodb, python-pymongo
The packages
setting specifies the list of Ubuntu packages to install on
each node. The above example will install mongodb
and python-pymongo
on
all nodes in the cluster.
Once you’ve configured the PackageInstaller
plugin the next step is to add
it to the plugins
list in one of your cluster templates in the config:
[cluster mycluster]
plugins = pkginstaller
If you already have a cluster running that didn’t originally include the
PackageInstaller
plugin in it’s config you can manually run the plugin on
the cluster using:
$ starcluster runplugin pkginstaller mycluster
