下载flume二进制安装包：apache-flume-1.6.0-bin.tar.gz

把apache-flume-1.6.0-bin.tar.gz文件存放在/opt/beh/core目录下，进行解压：

tar -zxvf apache-flume-1.6.0-bin.tar.gz

改名：

mv apache-flume-1.6.0-bin flume

l  设置环境变量

export FLUME_HOME=/opt/beh/core/flume

export PATH=$PATH:$ FLUME_HOME/bin

l  配置参数文件

配置文件存放在$FLUME_HOME/conf/目录下，将flume-env.sh.template文件名称改为flume-env.sh

mv flume-env.sh.template flume-env.sh
