As such you get told off when you try to run yarn {code} $ bin/yarn resourcemanager Error: JAVA_HOME is not set. {code} To make things more interesting, if you set the value in the shell, it still doesn't propagate down to the scripts {code} $ echo $JAVA_HOME $ source libexec/hadoop-config.sh $ echo $JAVA_HOME /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home $ bin/yarn resourcemanager Error: JAVA_HOME is not set. $echo $JAVA_HOME /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home {code} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
