+
+<p>This document provides basic instructions for installing Accumulo. For detailed instructions,
+see the <a href="/docs/unreleased/administration/in-depth-install">in-depth installation guide</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Either <a href="https://accumulo.apache.org/downloads/">download</a> or <a href="https://github.com/apache/accumulo/blob/master/README.md#building">build</a> a binary distribution of Accumulo from source code and
+unpack as follows.</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>tar xzf /path/to/accumulo-X.Y.Z-bin.tar.gz
+cd accumulo-X.Y.Z
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>There are four scripts in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">bin</code> directory of the tarball distribution that are used
+to manage Accumulo:</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo</code> - Runs Accumulo command-line tools and starts Accumulo processes</li>
+  <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-service</code> - Runs Accumulo processes as services</li>
+  <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-cluster</code> - Manages Accumulo cluster on a single node or several nodes</li>
+  <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-util</code> - Accumulo utilities for building native libraries, running jars, etc.</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>These scripts will be used in the remaining instructions to configure and run Accumulo.
+For convenience, consider adding <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-X.Y.Z/bin/</code> to your shell’s path.</p>
+
+<h2 id="configuring-accumulo">Configuring Accumulo</h2>
+
+<p>Accumulo requires running <a href="https://zookeeper.apache.org/">Zookeeper</a> and <a href="https://hadoop.apache.org/">HDFS</a> instances which should be set up
+before configuring Accumulo.</p>
+
+<p>The primary configuration files for Accumulo are <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-env.sh</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-site.xml</code>
+which are located in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">conf/</code> directory.</p>
+
+<p>Follow the steps below to configure <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-site.xml</code>:</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>
+    <p>Run <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-util build-native</code> to build native code.  If this command fails, disable
+native maps by setting <code class="highlighter-rouge">tserver.memory.maps.native.enabled</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">false</code>.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Set <code class="highlighter-rouge">instance.volumes</code> to HDFS location where Accumulo will store data. If your namenode
+is running at 192.168.1.9:8020 and you want to store data in <code class="highlighter-rouge">/accumulo</code> in HDFS, then set
+<code class="highlighter-rouge">instance.volumes</code> to <code class="highlighter-rouge">hdfs://192.168.1.9:8020/accumulo</code>.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Set <code class="highlighter-rouge">instance.zookeeper.host</code> to the location of your Zookeepers</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>(Optional) Change <code class="highlighter-rouge">instance.secret</code> (which is used by Accumulo processes to communicate)
+from the default. This value should match on all servers.</p>
+  </li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Follow the steps below to configure <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-env.sh</code>:</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>
+    <p>Set <code class="highlighter-rouge">HADOOP_PREFIX</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">ZOOKEEPER_HOME</code> to the location of your Hadoop and Zookeeper
+installations. Accumulo will use these locations to find Hadoop and Zookeeper jars and add
+them to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">CLASSPATH</code> variable. If you you are running a vendor-specific release of
+Hadoop or Zookeeper, you may need to modify how the <code class="highlighter-rouge">CLASSPATH</code> variable is built in
+<code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-env.sh</code>. If Accumulo has problems loading classes when you start it, run 
+<code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo classpath -d</code> to debug and print Accumulo’s classpath.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Accumulo tablet servers are configured by default to use 1GB of memory (768MB is allocated to
+JVM and 256MB is allocated for native maps). Native maps are allocated memory equal to 33% of
+the tserver JVM heap. The table below can be used if you would like to change tsever memory
+usage in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">JAVA_OPTS</code> section of <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-env.sh</code>:</p>
+
+    <table>
+      <thead>
+        <tr>
+          <th>Native?</th>
+          <th>512MB</th>
+          <th>1GB</th>
+          <th>2GB</th>
+          <th>3GB</th>
+        </tr>
+      </thead>
+      <tbody>
+        <tr>
+          <td>Yes</td>
+          <td>-Xmx384m -Xms384m</td>
+          <td>-Xmx768m -Xms768m</td>
+          <td>-Xmx1536m -Xms1536m</td>
+          <td>-Xmx2g -Xms2g</td>
+        </tr>
+        <tr>
+          <td>No</td>
+          <td>-Xmx512m -Xms512m</td>
+          <td>-Xmx1g -Xms1g</td>
+          <td>-Xmx2g -Xms2g</td>
+          <td>-Xmx3g -Xms3g</td>
+        </tr>
+      </tbody>
+    </table>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>(Optional) Review the memory settings for the Accumulo master, garbage collector, and monitor
+in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">JAVA_OPTS</code> section of <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-env.sh</code>.</p>
+  </li>
+</ol>
+
+<h2 id="initialization">Initialization</h2>
+
+<p>Accumulo needs to initialize the locations where it stores data in Zookeeper
+and HDFS.  The following command will do this.</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>accumulo init
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>The initialization command will prompt for the following information.</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>Instance name</strong> : This is the name of the Accumulo instance and its
+Accumulo clients need to know it inorder to connect.</li>
+  <li><strong>Root password</strong> : Initialization sets up an initial Accumulo root user and
+prompts for its password.  This information will be needed to later connect
+to Accumulo.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2 id="run-accumulo">Run Accumulo</h2>
+
+<p>There are several methods for running Accumulo:</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>
+    <p>Run Accumulo processes using <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo</code> command which runs processes in foreground and
+will not redirect stderr/stdout. Useful for creating init.d scripts that run Accumulo.</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Run Accumulo processes as services using <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-service</code> which uses <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo</code>
+command but backgrounds processes, redirects stderr/stdout and manages pid files.
+Useful if you are using a cluster management tool (i.e Ansible, Salt, etc).</p>
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    <p>Run an Accumulo cluster on one or more nodes using <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-cluster</code> (which
+uses <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-service</code> to run services). Useful for local development and
+testing or if you are not using a cluster management tool in production.</p>
+  </li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>Each method above has instructions below.</p>
+
+<h3 id="run-accumulo-processes">Run Accumulo processes</h3>
+
+<p>Start Accumulo processes (tserver, master, moniitor, etc) using command below:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>accumulo tserver
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>The process will run in the foreground. Use ctrl-c to quit.</p>
+
+<h3 id="run-accumulo-services">Run Accumulo services</h3>
+
+<p>Start Accumulo services (tserver, master, monitor, etc) using command below:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>accumulo-service tserver start
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<h3 id="run-an-accumulo-cluster">Run an Accumulo cluster</h3>
+
+<p>Before using the <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-cluster</code> script, additional configuration files need
+to be created. Use the command below to create them:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>accumulo-cluster create-config
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>This creates five files (<code class="highlighter-rouge">masters</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">gc</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">monitor</code>, <code class="highlighter-rouge">tservers</code>, &amp; <code class="highlighter-rouge">tracers</code>)
+in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">conf/</code> directory that contain the node names where Accumulo services
+are run on your cluster. By default, all files are configured to <code class="highlighter-rouge">localhost</code>. If
+you are running a single-node Accumulo cluster, theses files do not need to be
+changed and the next section should be skipped.</p>
+
+<h4 id="multi-node-configuration">Multi-node configuration</h4>
+
+<p>If you are running an Accumulo cluster on multiple nodes, the following files
+in <code class="highlighter-rouge">conf/</code> should be configured with a newline separated list of node names:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">masters</code> : Accumulo primary coordinating process. Must specify one node. Can
+            specify a few for fault tolerance.</li>
+  <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">gc</code>      : Accumulo garbage collector. Must specify one node. Can specify a
+            few for fault tolerance.</li>
+  <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">monitor</code> : Node where Accumulo monitoring web server is run.</li>
+  <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">tservers</code>: Accumulo worker processes. List all of the nodes where tablet servers
+            should run in this file.</li>
+  <li><code class="highlighter-rouge">tracers</code> : Optional capability. Can specify zero or more nodes.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The Accumulo, Hadoop, and Zookeeper software should be present at the same
+location on every node. Also the files in the <code class="highlighter-rouge">conf</code> directory must be copied
+to every node. There are many ways to replicate the software and configuration,
+two possible tools that can help replicate software and/or config are <a href="https://code.google.com/p/pdsh/">pdcp</a>
+and <a href="https://code.google.com/p/parallel-ssh/">prsync</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-cluster</code> script uses ssh to start processes on remote nodes. Before
+attempting to start Accumulo, <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=hadoop+passwordless+ssh&amp;ie=utf-8&amp;oe=utf-8">passwordless ssh</a> must be setup on the cluster.</p>
+
+<h4 id="start-cluster">Start cluster</h4>
+
+<p>After configuring and initializing Accumulo, use the following command to start
+the cluster:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>accumulo-cluster start
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<h2 id="first-steps">First steps</h2>
+
+<p>Once you have started Accumulo, use the following command to run the Accumulo shell:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>accumulo shell -u root
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>Use your web browser to connect the Accumulo monitor page on port 9995.</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>http://&lt;hostname in conf/monitor&gt;:9995/
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<h2 id="stopping-accumulo">Stopping Accumulo</h2>
+
+<p>When finished, use the following commands to stop Accumulo:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Stop Accumulo service: <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-service tserver stop</code></li>
+  <li>Stop Accumulo cluster: <code class="highlighter-rouge">accumulo-cluster stop</code></li>
+</ul>

+    <p>Accumulo provides a simple shell that can be used to examine the contents and
+configuration settings of tables, insert/update/delete values, and change
+configuration settings.</p>
+
+<p>The shell can be started by the following command:</p>
+
+<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>accumulo shell -u [username]
+</code></pre>
+</div>
+
+<p>The shell will prompt for the corresponding password to the username specified
+and then display the following prompt:</p>
