Cause Analysis

  • Environment variables are checked during Flume client installation. If no Java is available, an error message is displayed stating "JAVA_HOME is null" and the installation quits.
  • If Flume has been installed in the specified directory, an error message is displayed stating "flume has been installed" during client installation and the installation quits.

Solution

  1. Run the following command if an error message is displayed stating "JAVA_HOME is null":

    export JAVA_HOME=Java path

    Set JAVA_HOME and execute the installation script again.

  2. If a Flume client has been installed under the specified directory, uninstall the client and use another directory.
