Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Hadoop Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by GeorgePorter: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/QuickStart The comment on the change is: Added links to the OpenSolaris-based Live CD and Google VMWare player image ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ == Get up and running fast == - The fastest way may be to just install the [http://code.google.com/edu/parallel/tools/hadoopvm/index.html hadoop virtual image] but if you want to actually have something running on your system that can be more easily worked on and later expanded to other boxes stick with this document. + The fastest way may be to just install a pre-configured virtual Hadoop environment. Two such environments are: + * The Google [http://code.google.com/edu/parallel/tools/hadoopvm/index.html Hadoop Virtual Image]. This image runs within the free VMWare player. + * The [http://opensolaris.org/os/project/livehadoop/ OpenSolaris Hadoop Live CD]. This virtual Hadoop cluster runs entirely off the CD, and does not require you to install any new software on your system. + + If you want to actually have something running on your system that can be more easily worked on and later expanded to other boxes stick with this document. Based on the docs found at the following link, but modified to work with the current distribution: http://hadoop.apache.org/core/api/overview-summary.html#overview_description
