| DESCRIPTION |
| ***************************************************** |
| The Greenplum Package Manager (gppkg) utility installs |
| Greenplum Database extensions, including any dependencies, |
| on all hosts across a cluster. It will also automatically |
| install database extensions on new hosts in the case of |
| system expansion and segment recovery. |
| |
| First, download one or more of the available packages |
| from the EMC Download Center (https://emc.subscribenet.com) |
| then copy it to the master host. Use the Greenplum |
| Package Manager to install each package using the |
| options described below. |
| |
| After a major upgrade to Greenplum Database, you must |
| download and install all extensions again. |
| |
| The following packages are available for download from the |
| EMC Download Center. |
| * PostGIS |
| * PL/Java |
| * PL/R |
| * PL/Perl |
| * MADlib |
| * Pgcrypto |
| |

| OPTIONS |
| ***************************************************** |
| |
| Options |
| -a (do not prompt) |
| Do not prompt the user for confirmation. |
| |
| -c | --clean |
| Reconciles the package state of the cluster to match the |
| state of the master host. Running this option after a failed |
| or partial install/uninstall ensures that the package |
| installation state is consistent across the cluster. |
| |
| -d <master_data_directory> |
| The master data directory. If not specified, the value set |
| for $MASTER_DATA_DIRECTORY will be used. |
| |
| -i <package> | --install=<package> |
| Installs the given package. This includes any pre/post |
| installation steps and installation of any dependencies. |
| |
| --migrate <GPHOME_1> <GPHOME_2> |
| Migrates packages from a separate $GPHOME. Carries over |
| packages from one version of Greenplum Database to another. |
| For example: |
| gppkg --migrate /usr/local/greenplum-db-4.2.0.1 |
| /usr/local/greenplum-db-4.2.1.0 |
| |
| This option is automatically invoked by the installer |
| during minor upgrades. This option is given here for |
| cases when the user wants to migrate packages |
| manually. |
| Migration can only proceed if gppkg is executed |
| from the installation directory to which packages |
| are being migrated. That is, GPHOME_2 must match |
| the $GPHOME from which the currently executing |
| gppkg is being run. |
| |
| -q | --query query_option |
| |
| Provides information specified by query_option about the |
| installed packages. Only one query_option can be specified |
| at a time. The following table lists the possible values |
| for query_option. <package_file> is the name of a package. |
| |
| query_option Returns |
| ------------ ------- |
| |
| <package_file> Whether the specified package is installed. |
| |
| --info <package_file> The name, version, and other information |
| about the specified package. |
| |
| --list <package_file> The file contents of the specified package. |
| |
| --all List of all installed packages. |
| |
| |
| -r <name>-<version> | --remove=<name>-<version> |
| Removes the specified package. |
| |
| -u <package> | --update=<package> |
| Updates the given package. |
| |
| --version |
| Displays the version of this utility. |
| |
| -v | --verbose |
| Sets the logging level to verbose. |
| |
| -? | -h | --help |
| Displays the online help. |
