Hadoop on Windows - Training

Question

I am new to Apache Hadoop. Most of the Hadoop tutorials I found are Linux based and I'm a Microsoft Windows user. So I am finding it difficult to learn Hadoop on Windows. Any pointers to learn Hadoop on Windows would be best.

Answer 1

If your primary objective is to learn Hadoop then it does not matter you learn it on Windows or Linux, because everything is exactly same on both platforms. 

I have extensively used Hadoop on both platforms and found all the commands and processing are identical on Windows and Linux. So here are my suggestions:

1. Download VMware VMPlayer on your Windows Machine
2. Create an Instance having any Linux/Debian/Redhat OS .Access virtual machine in your Windows box and follow the tutorials exactly they are on Linux.
3. Follow this link to install Hadoop on the VM: https://www.edureka.co/blog/install-hadoop-single-node-hadoop-cluster
4. You can also check out Youtube Videos of Edureka here.
