installing and configuring hadoop on ubuntu

Question

I'm unable to locate the file hadoop-ec2-env.sh.

This is the most recent stable version.

I would like to run hadoop on EC2.

Where is hadoop-ec2-env.sh?

It would be in the [hadoop source location]src/contrib/ec2/bin/hadoop-ec2-env.sh

If you don't know where your Hadoop source location is, use the find command to locate the script.

 find / -name 'hadoop-ec2-env.sh'

thank you very much but that i could not find that file – Alex Gordon Apr 26 '13 at 18:04
perhaps hadoop_1.0.4-1_x86_64.deb is the wrong file? should i have downloaded the tar.gz instead? sorry beginner at linux here. – Alex Gordon Apr 26 '13 at 18:05
although when i ran the DEB file with ubuntu software center it said that it was installed succesfully – Alex Gordon Apr 26 '13 at 18:05
You need to install the .deb file first. sudo dpkg -i hadoop_1.0.4-1_x86_64.deb – colealtdelete Apr 26 '13 at 18:08
i did install the DEB file, the software center says that hadoop is installed – Alex Gordon Apr 26 '13 at 18:10
It looks like you can manually create the file [here](http://www.gmarwaha.com/blog/2011/12/08/no-hadoop-env-sh-in-hadoop-0-23/) – colealtdelete Apr 26 '13 at 18:22
