You can install Cloudera Search in one of two ways:

• Using the Cloudera Manager installer, as described in Installing Search. This technique is recommended for reliable and verifiable Search installation.
• Using the manual process described in Installing Cloudera Search without Cloudera Manager . This process requires you to configure access to the Cloudera Search repository and then install Search packages.

  Note: Depending on which installation approach you use, Search is installed to different locations.

• Installing Search with Cloudera Manager using parcels results in changes under /opt/cloudera/parcels.
• Installing using packages, either manually or using Cloudera Manager, results in changes to various locations throughout the file system. Common locations for changes include /usr/lib/, /etc/default/, and /usr/share/doc/.
