To introduce the Hive installation, we use Hive version 1.0.0 as an example. The pre-installation requirements for this installation are as follows:
JDK 1.7.0_51
Hadoop 0.20.x, 0.23.x.y, 1.x.y, or 2.x.y
Ubuntu 14.04/CentOS 6.2
Note
Since we focus on Hive in this book, the installation steps for Java and Hadoop are not provided here. For steps on installing them, please refer to https://www.java.com/en/download/help/download_options.xml and http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/ClusterSetup.html.
The following steps describe how to install Hive from Apache through the Linux command line:
