The size for Hortonworks sandbox became 8.5 GB and for Cloudera quickstart became 7 GB. However, the outcome for both downloads are bad ones. Make sure you spent some times to download them. So it takes hours for me to download them. Hortonworks sandbox is 5.8 GB and Cloudera quickstart is 4GB. It was the top choice on Google search when I googled it for download manager. The one thing that really pushed me to write this post is because I was very annoyed with a download manager called FlareGet. This is the standard requirement for virtual machine. Enable virtualization on you BIOS because normally it is disabled. You can use VMWare or Hyper-V.Ĭaution, you need to have at least Intel i5 and at least 6GB of RAM. My Virtual Machine of choice is Virtualbox. Only now I have the chance to try it out on my favorite operating system, Linux.īoth are the same just the names are different. However, my previous laptop did not have the enough resources to do so. I know for most people setting up sandbox is their first way to learn and do proof of concept on Hadoop before setting up the real Hadoop cluster. This post just to put some of my experiences in setting up Hortonworks Sandbox and Cloudera Quickstart on Linuxmint.
