Hi Please feel free to open a issue in JIRA or better, make a contribution! https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN On Tue, Nov 24, 2015 at 8:36 AM -0800, "Partridge, Lucas (GE Aviation)" <lucas.partri...@ge.com<mailto:lucas.partri...@ge.com>> wrote: I’d mistakenly downloaded the source version of Zeppelin 0.5.5 rather than the binary version. Then, without realising that, I tried to run the (unbuilt) Zeppelin, which kept failing with this error message in the logs folder: Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.zeppelin.server.ZeppelinServer - I eventually discovered that zeppelin-server-0.5.5-incubating.jar was missing from ZEPPELIN_HOME! I’d wasted ages debugging the classpath before I’d spotted my mistake. In my defence the links to the source and binary are right next to each other at https://zeppelin.incubator.apache.org/download.html<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__zeppelin.incubator.apache.org_download.html&d=CwMFaQ&c=IV_clAzoPDE253xZdHuilRgztyh_RiV3wUrLrDQYWSI&r=c1CCNND4PG-Q_V2AJWDWrugZAXQ8Y3EE_f_mAHcpXcs&m=X_UMbNeZe5ubsZb193faExw-3-QIHC0dyZxdXd52ycM&s=NmC7XmijC6J7fNK-Ms0B_zO6RIM41E3w6Mf4rXUSPYc&e=>! I was just wondering whether it was worth adding a line or two to zeppelin-daemon.sh to check for the existence of zeppelin-server-X.Y.Z-incubating.jar and issuing an error such as: “Please build Zeppelin before running it, or download the binary package.” All you get at present is: Zeppelin start [ OK ] Zeppelin process died [FAILED] …to protect from numpties like me in future☺. Just a suggestion. Thanks, Lucas.
