How to install Cloudera QuickStart VM on VMware - Part1?

Start using Hadoop with Cloudera's QuickStart VMs. The QuickStart VMs contain a single-node Apache Hadoop cluster, complete with example data, queries, scripts.

These virtual machines make it easy to get started with CDH (Cloudera’s 100% open source Hadoop platform that includes Impala, Search, Spark, and more) and Cloudera Manager.

They come complete with everything you need to learn Hadoop.The VMs run CentOS 6.4 and are available for VMware, VirtualBox, and KVM. 

Requirements:-

a) System Requirement:-

  • These are a 64-bit VMs. They requires a 64-bit host OS and a virtualization product that can support a 64-bit guest OS.
  •  To use a VMware VM, you must use a player compatible with WorkStation 8.x or higher: Player 4.x or higher, ESXi 5.x or higher, or Fusion 4.x or higher. Older versions of WorkStation can be used to create a new VM using the same virtual disk (VMDK file), but some features in VMware Tools won't be available.
  • Require 4GB RAM for Virtual Machine.

b) Software Requirement:- 

  • Download and install latest version of VMware Player for Windows 64-bit operating systems if you are using Windows otherwise download VMware Player for Linux 64-bit Linux from link.
  • Download the latest version of Cloudera QuickStart VM with CDH 5.3 for VMware  Or Download Cloudera QuickStart VM for Virtual Box.
  • You will also need 7-zip archive tool to extract files from downloaded Cloudera file, you can download from link.


 For this demo, I have used VMware version of Cloudera Quickstart VM with CDH 5.3 for running on Windows 7 64 bit host OS.
