Hello Kubuntu User! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install and Getting-Started with Apache Hadoop/Map-Reduce vanilla in Pseudo-Distributed mode on Linux Kubuntu 16.10 Yakkety GNU/Linux Desktop.

Hadoop is a distributed master-slave that consists of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) for storage and Map-Reduce for computational capabilities.

The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is a distributed file system that spreads data blocks across the storage defined for the Hadoop cluster.

The foundation of Hadoop is the two core frameworks YARN and HDFS. These two frameworks deal with Processing and Storage.

Hadoop is a distributed master-slave that consists of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) for storage and Map-Reduce for computational capabilities.

The Guide Describe a System-Wide Setup with Root Privileges but you Can Easily Convert the Procedure to a Local One.

The Apache Hadoop for Kubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Require an Oracle JDK 8+ Installation on System.

Download Latest Apache Hadoop Stable Release:

Apache Hadoop Binary tar.gz

Apache Hadoop
Double-Click on Archive and Extract Into /tmp Directory.

Or from CLI:
```
tar xvzf *hadoop*tar.gz -C /tmp
```
Open a Shell Terminal emulator window
Start Typing ‘term’ on Desktop.

Relocate Apache Hadoop Directory
Get SuperUser Privileges:
```
sudo su
```
If Got “User is Not in Sudoers file” then see: How to Enable sudo
Then Switch the contents with:
```
mv /tmp/hadoop* /usr/local/
```
Make an hadoop symlink directory:
```
ln -s /usr/local/hadoop* /usr/local/hadoop
```
Make Hadoop Needed Directories:

First, Make the Logs Dir:
```
mkdir /usr/local/hadoop/logs
```
Giving Writing Permissions:
```
chmod 777 /usr/local/hadoop/logs
```
Next Make the Cache Dir:
```
mkdir /usr/local/hadoop/cache
```
Same Writing Permissions as for Logs:
```
chmod 777 /usr/local/hadoop/cache
```
And then also the Temporary Dir:
```
mkdir /usr/local/hadoop/tmp
```
Set the root as Owner:
```
sudo chown -R root:root /usr/local/hadoop*
```
