Introduction
Finally, I have managed to run Ubuntu 64 bit VM on my Windows 7 32 bit and installed Hadoop on Ubuntu. This thread is just for those who want to practice Hadoop on Ubuntu 64 bit in Windows 7 32 bit computer...
Please follow the below steps/links I have provided and let me know if you come across any issues on this.
- First main step which is important, your computer/laptop CPU should support 64 bit architecture and it should support virtualization. Please follow the below links to check the compatibility. https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details/processor_check_5_5_dt/dCpiQGhkYmRAZQ== http://www.sysprobs.com/64bit-guest-os-32bit-host-os-vmware and also please check and Enable Virtualization in BIOS if your CPU support it. I think most of the latest CPUs support this. Continue to the below steps only if the above are supported.
- Download Vmware Workstation 10 from this link [https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/info/slug/desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_workstation/10_0] This is not free software, you have to use Trial version or purchase it or any other way, but you need to install it on your Windows 7 32 bit computer.
- After installing VMware workstation 10, now you need to download Ubuntu 14 64 bit ISO from this site [http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop]
- After downloading Ubuntu 64 bit ISO, now you need to install it on VMware. I have not provided the steps on how to install it on vmware but it is easy and if you face any issues, you can Google for this. If you successfully install the Ubuntu 64 bit on VM, then you are all done :)....
- Now it's time to get into Ubuntu VM and install the Java and Hadoop... please follow the below links for these... Installing Java on Ubuntu 14. link [https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-java-on-ubuntu-with-apt-get] Installing Hadoop on Ubuntu 14 link [http://dogdogfish.com/2014/04/26/installing-hadoop-2-4-on-ubuntu-14-04/]
