Hi, I'm going through the quickstart - clustering synthetic control data (https://cwiki.apache.org/MAHOUT/clustering-of-synthetic-control-data.html) and I have a question and a problem. Please keep in mind that my background is with R and Python, and I have little experience with Java, Maven, etc.
In step 3, why do I have to create "mahout-examples-$MAHOUT_VERSION.job" if it already exists in /opt/local/share/java/mahout-distribution-0.5? In step 3.b, running "mvn clean install", I get this error: "[ERROR] The goal you specified requires a project to execute but there is no POM in this directory (/opt/local/share/java/mahout-distribution-0.5). Please verify you invoked Maven from the correct directory." What does this mean and how do I rectify it? Thanks in advance, Dan
