Normally, Hadoop runs on Unix computers. However, thanks to modern virtualization technology, you can run a complete sandbox version of Hadoop within a virtual Linux server on your personal computer, for free. This installation is ideal for learning and exploring how to use Hadoop.
Step 1: Install VMware Player
If you don’t already have VMware running on your computer, you’ll need to install VMware Player v5 or higher on your Windows computer. This software is free for personal use. I have found that installing VMware Player v5 on my 64-bit Windows 7 computer to be reliable and causes no problems. VMware Player can also be installed on a Linux computer. If you have a Mac, you’ll need to purchase and install the VMware Fusion software instead.
Download and install “VMware Player for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit“. It took me 4 minutes to download the VMware-player-5.0.1-894247.exe installer file, and 2 minutes to install the software on my Windows 7 computer, with no need to reboot. VMware Player requires 150 MB free disk space. Go to your Windows Start Menu and launch VMware Player (you may skip the upgrade to VMware Workstation).
See the full step-by-step instructions on installing VMware Player if you require additional details.
Step 2: Install Hortonworks Hadoop Sandbox
Download the Hortonworks Hadoop Sandbox for VMware. The VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation versions are compatible with the VMware Player that you had just installed in Step 1. It took 1 hour 47 minutes to download the 2 GB “Hortonworks+Sandbox+1.2+1-21-2012-1+vmware.ova” file from the Hortonworks Amazon S3 directory.
While waiting for the VMware OVA file to download, you can watch the below sandbox overview video from Hortonworks (8 minutes 35 seconds) and read the sandbox installation instructions.
Step 3: Run Hadoop!
Within the VMware Player application that you had installed and started running in Step 1, either go to the Player menu, and select “File/Open..”, or choose “Open a Virtual Machine” from the welcome screen. Locate the directory where you had downloaded the VMware image Hortonworks sandbox file “Hortonworks+Sandbox+1.2+1-21-2012-1+vmware.ova” and select that OVA file to open. You’ll be prompted for the name of the new virtual server instance, and where on your host Windows machine VMware should store the instance image file–okay to accept the defaults. It may take a few minutes for the new virtual machine to be imported. FYI, your Windows computer is the host system, whereas the CentOS 64-bit Linux system, bundled free with the Hortonworks Sandbox, is the virtual guest system from the VMware point of view.
