Hello Rafel, I assume that you have donwloaded and configured Hadoop successfully. If no , then please tell i can give steps for that also.
For Hive , the easiest way for me is to download the Hive Tar from Apache website Extract the Hive tar into some location Then i would set environment variables e.g e.g export HIVE_HOME="/home/hadoop/software/hive-0.9.0" export PATH=$PATH:$HIVE_HOME/bin Assuming HADOOP_HOME is already set in your computer , if not set it. Also If i am going to do concurrent sessions in HIVE i would also configure hive mysql database<http://jugnu-life.blogspot.in/2012/05/hive-mysql-setup-configuration.html>for storing hive metadata That's it Please let me know if you need any detailed help.
