I believe that you were following the steps given on nutch wiki page[0] and you have performed the pre-requisite steps before triggering a crawl. Please verify the same. Also, 1. Are you using the binary distribution or source distribution ? 2. From which directory are you running the crawl command ? 3. Have you verified the installation using "bin/nutch" command ? 4. Have you created a file named "urls" with the seeds urls ? 5. The crawl command tries to creates a directory for storing the crawled info. The "-dir" option specifies the same. I your case it will try to create a directory with name "crawl". The "No such file or directory" would make no sense as its expected that the directory is not present before.
