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 ChristopheBisciglia: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/QuickStart The comment on the change is: I made this VM while at Google - it's outdated (0.13) and unmaintained. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ == Get up and running fast == 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://www.cloudera.com/hadoop-training-virtual-machine Cloudera Training Virtual Machine]. This image runs within the free VMWare player and has Hadoop, Hive, Pig and examples pre-loaded. Video lectures and screencasts walk you through everything. * 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. + + Cloudera also provides their [http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop distribution for Hadoop] (Apache 2.0 Licensed), including support for Hive and Pig and configuration management, in the following formats: + * [http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop-rpm RPMs for Redhat based systems] (Centos, Fedora, RHEL, etc) + * [http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop-deb Debian Packages for Debian based systems] (Debian, Ubuntu, etc) + * [http://www.cloudera.com/hadoop-ec2 AMI for Amazon EC2] + + If you want to work exclusively with Hadoop code directly from Apache, the rest of this document can help you get started quickly from there. 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
