RDA software installation on Mac OS
Run the below commands to verify currently installed RDA prerequisites.
Note: Please make sure the below commands are in the PATH variable in the user's login profile.
docker --version
docker-compose --version
python3 --version
pip3 --version
Step 1: Request software by contacting [email protected]. The following procedure assumes you received the download link.
Download the 'rda-docker-compose-with-ssl.tar' software package.
Step 2: Create a virtual environment using python3
python3 -m venv <name of the environment>
eg.
$ python3 -m venv rda-venv
Step 3: Source virtual env that was created in Step 2 as shown below.
$ cd rda-venv
$ source bin/activate
(rda-venv)$
Step 4: Install docker-compose tool needed to install RDA as shown below
(rda-venv)$ pip3 install docker-compose
(rda-venv)$ docker-compose --version
docker-compose version 1.29.0, build 07737305
Note: Make sure docker-compose is installed properly
Step 5: Extract the 'rda-docker-compose-with-ssl.tar' software package under the user's home directory or some other directory.
tar -xvf rda-docker-compose-with-ssl.tar

Step 3: Run setup.py python script as shown below.

Below are the 'RDA' directory locations and their purpose.
/home/<userid>/cfx/cfxdx/config --> Location of the conf.yml file where many datasource credentials and other settings are configured.
/home/<userid>/cfx/cfxdx/output --> Location of the exported CSV / Excel / JSON files
Step 4: To access 'RDA' interface, open up a browser and enter the URL as https://ipaddress:9998


Step 4: Accessing RDA Page


Install RDA Datanetwork Components (Optional)
The following steps explain how to install Kafka/Zookeeper components needed for RDA Data network bots. Download docker-compose file required to install Kafka/Zookeeper and use the below steps to start Kafka/zookeeper docker instances (these instances in turn will be used by RDA runtime) bash# cd /home/macaw/ bash# mkdir -p kafka-zookeeper bash# cd kafka-zookeeper bash# wget <docker-compose-file> bash# <edit the file and add the ipaddress or FQDN of RDA machine> bash# docker-compose pull bash# docker-compose up -d In addition to the above steps, make sure you enable the following ports
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=2181/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=9092/tcp --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
