```
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*
```
