apache-flink Getting started with apache-flink Local runtime setup

Example

0. ensure you have java 6 or above and that the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set.

1. download the latest flink binary here:

   wget flink-XXXX.tar.gz
   

   If you don't plan to work with Hadoop, pick the hadoop 1 version. Also, note the scala version you download, so you can add the correct maven dependencies in your programs.

2. start flink:

   tar xzvf flink-XXXX.tar.gz
   ./flink/bin/start-local.sh
   

   Flink is already configured to run locally. To ensure flink is running, you can inspect the logs in flink/log/ or open the flink jobManager's interface running on http://localhost:8081.

3. stop flink:

   ./flink/bin/stop-local.sh
