We have some series of articles on basics and essentials on Big Data touching ETL, batch and stream processing. That minimum theoretical idea is better to have to properly utilize Apache Beam. Apache Beam is a programming model to define and execute data processing. This article is On How To Install Apache Beam, it is for Whole Project. Beam SDKs available for Python, Java, Go. Their installation requirements and method are different. Apache Beam provides a general approach in expressing embarrassingly parallel data processing pipelines supporting three categories of users – End Users (writing pipelines with an existing SDK), SDK Writers (developing a Beam SDK for specific user community), Runner Writers (would like to support programs written against the Beam Model). For installing the whole thing, you actually reference is their GitHub repo :

How To Install Apache Beam
We need to build and install the whole project from the source distribution. First update and upgrade the system :
|
1 2 |
apt update -y apt upgrade -y |
We need to install some tools, which are actually common :
---
|
1 |
apt install openjdk-8-jdk python-setuptools python-pip virtualenv |

pip --version |
You can upgrade pip with :
|
1 |
pip install --upgrade pip |
We need virtualenv version 13.1.0 or newer :
|
1 |
pip install --upgrade virtualenv |
To avoid Python virtual environment you may use setuptools, which possible a difficult way.
You need to install Gradle build tool, Apache Maven, Java Development Kit (JDK) version 8, set JAVA_HOME environment variable to points to your JDK installation. These are common steps of most Data Science tools.
Basically, you have to clone the whole project :
|
1 |
git clone https://github.com/apache/beam.git |
You can now build, install in Gradle’s way :
|
1 |
./gradlew build |

You should read complete documentation on their website for understanding their concept. Apache Beam is not quite like typical other software. It is difficult to write one piece “how to install” covering all types of readers. However, we needed one for reference within our website. We hope that the readers will understand the concept of Apache Beam and install the part suitable for their need.
