Installing on CentOS/RHEL

Riak TS can be installed on CentOS-based systems using a binary package available here.

Note on SELinux

CentOS enables SELinux by default, so you may need to disable SELinux if you encounter errors.

Dependencies

ulimit

CentOS and RHEL give you a very small limit on open file handles. Even with a backend that uses very few file handles, it’s possible to run out. See Open Files Limit for more information about changing the limit.
