Install CDH4 from a preconfigured repository¶

This site provides a pre-configured one-ckeck out user space installation of Cloudera's CDH4 Hadoop and HBase distributions. This page explains how to install it on your machine - which is really, really simple compared to normally suggested Hadoop installation procedures.

Note #1: This will only work on Linux or Mac OS

Note #2: The repository also contains an Eclipse project file and has Eclipse launchers for most functions required.

In short there are two steps:

1. Clone the repository
2. Adapt your local environment

Clone the repository¶

The pre-configured distribution is stored in the repository z2-samples-cdh4-base. We assume you install everything (including an Eclipse workspace - if you run the samples) in install.

cd install
git clone -b http://git.z2-environment.net/z2-samples.cdh4-base
