Apache Nifi On Ubuntu | Installation Guide

by | Oct 16, 2022

Let’s see how to set up Apache Nifi on Ubuntu in this article. At Bobcares, with our Server Management Services, we can handle your Ubuntu issues.

Apache Nifi on Ubuntu

Apache Nifi is created to simplify data transfer between computer programs. The software’s design is based on the flow-based programming model. It has the following features:

  • Capacity to work in clusters
  • Security provided by TLS encryption
  • Extensibility & Enhanced usability features

Today, we will see how we can see the steps to use Apache Nifi on an Ubuntu system.

Set up Apache Nifi on Ubuntu

  1. Java is required for Nifi to function. So, firstly, we have to set up the Java JDK package. We can use the following command to set up the Java JDK package.
    apt-get update
    apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

     

  2. Now find the Java JDK setup directory with the below command.
    update-alternatives --config java

     

  3. Then we have to create an environment variable named JAVA_HOME. So let’s make a file to automate the setting up of the necessary environment variables.
    vi /etc/profile.d/java.sh

     

    The java.sh file content is as follows:

    #/bin/bash
    export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64

     

  4. Reboot the system now.
    reboot

     

  5. Now use the following command to verify if the JAVA_HOME variable was created.
    env | grep JAVA_HOME
    JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64

     

  6. Test the Java setup, use the below command:
    java -version

     

  7. Now we have to download Apache Nifi. So download the Nifi tar file. Else, use the wget command from the terminal to download the file.
    mkdir /downloads/apache-nifi -p
    cd /downloads/apache-nifi
    wget https://downloads.apache.org/nifi/1.13.2/nifi-1.13.2-bin.tar.gz

     

  8. Now set up Apache Nifi on Ubuntu.
    tar -zxvf nifi-1.13.2-bin.tar.gz
    mv nifi-1.13.2 /opt/
    ln -s /opt/nifi-1.13.2/ /opt/nifi
    cd /opt/nifi
    bin/nifi.sh install

     

  9. Start the Nifi service.
    /etc/init.d/nifi start

     

    The result will be as follows:

    Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
    NiFi home: /opt/nifi-1.13.2Bootstrap Config File: /opt/nifi-1.13.2/conf/bootstrap.conf

     

  10. Open a browser and put the Apache Nifi server’s IP address, plus :8080/nifi. For E.g., http://192.168.15.10:8080/nifi/
  11. The web interface for Apache Nifi is finally displayed.
