Using a virtual box, install Hadoop on Ubuntu (the Linux kernel) in Windows 11.

Introduction

Installing Hadoop on Ubuntu Linux within a virtual machine on Windows 11 is a great way to set up a Hadoop development environment without the need for a dedicated Hadoop server. By using a virtual machine, you can create a self-contained, isolated environment to install and configure Hadoop, allowing you to explore and learn Hadoop’s features and capabilities.

Prerequisites

Hadoop-3.4.0.tar.gz

Download here: https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/hadoop/common/hadoop-3.4.0/hadoop-3.4.0.tar.gz

Download virtual box: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Download the Ubuntu operating system iso file (recommend choosing the lower version):

[embed]Ubuntu MATE 16.04.6 LTS (Xenial Xerus) CD images for Ubuntu MATE 16.04.6 LTS (Xenial Xerus)cdimage.ubuntu.com

Install Virtual box Ubuntu.

Part 1: Install the Ubuntu requirements.

Step 1: Install Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager. Open the file virtual-box ****.exe and install it, then open and get the home page.

Step 2: Install Ubuntu

  • Click New -> setting like image below.

Click next, choose your memory, and compute for your Ubuntu system.

Click next and choose your disk space for Ubuntu click next and finish.

Click Install Ubuntu.

Click Continue.

Click Install Now.

click continue

click Continue.

Input your login requirement -> click log in automatically -> click continue..

And waiting.

Click restart now

Part 2: Install Hadoop

Step 1: Open a terminal and install Java jdk on your system.

Run this code in terminal.

sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

and check the folder.

cd /usr/lib/jvm

it’s show the complete install.

it’s show the complete install.

Step 2: Configure the Ubuntu bashrc file.

sudo nano .bashrc

Go to the end of the file.

Past this code.

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64 
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/bin 
export HADOOP_HOME=~/hadoop-3.4.0/ 
export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/bin 
export PATH=$PATH:$HADOOP_HOME/sbin 
export HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME 
export YARN_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME 
export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop 
export HADOOP_COMMON_LIB_NATIVE_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/lib/native 
export HADOOP_OPTS="-Djava.library.path=$HADOOP_HOME/lib/native" 
export HADOOP_STREAMING=$HADOOP_HOME/share/hadoop/tools/lib/hadoop-streaming-3.4.0.jar
export HADOOP_LOG_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/logs 
export PDSH_RCMD_TYPE=ssh

Step 3: Install the SSH secure system.

sudo apt-get install ssh

Step 4: Copy file Haddop-3.4.0.tar.gz into computer.

Click devices Insert guest Additions CD Image.

Click Run software.

Go to devices -> share folder, mount to folder contain Hadoop-3.4.0.tar.gz

Then run this bash in ternimal.

sudo nautilus

And then copy this file into the home folder.

Step 5: Extract the file.

sudo chmod -x ~/hadoop-3.4.0.tar.gz
sudo tar -zxvf ~/hadoop-3.4.0.tar.gz

Step 6: Configure the file.

Go to the folder containing the file.

cd hadoop-3.4.0/etc/hadoop

Setting file hadoop-env.h

sudo nano hadoop-env.sh

Find Java Home and set path for JAVAHOME

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64 

Ctrl+X and save.
