Oozie Setup does not work

Question

Yet another problem with Apache Bigtop. This time it is oozie.

Whenever I want to do something with Oozie, I get the following exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Oozie URL is not available neither in command option or in the environment

I did some google-fuu and came across the tutorial officially provided by them.

But hurray, next problem:

Whenever I enter

bin/oozie-setup.sh -hadoop 2.6.0 $HADOOP_HOME -extjs ext-2.2.zip

I get the following reply:

 EXTJS can be downloaded from http://www.extjs.com/learn/Ext_Version_Archives

I have tried quiet a lot of things. I downloaded a version of ext-2.2.zip from an archive. I downloaded the version 2.3.0. But no matter what I do, the reply stays the same. Please help me get Oozie to run. I desperately need it right now!

Few thing you have to check 1st, as per the link you have shared that is to enable the Oozie UI which required ext-2.2 jar. So if you already have Oozie setup done then you have to make the oozie.war file, including DB Driver and ext-2.2.zip file

to do so steps you need to perform is

download ext-2.2.zip file from source and place the same in OOZIE_HOME/libext folder.
download mysql/oracle/postgress driver and place the same in OOZIE_HOME/libext folder.
start the oozie-setup.sh scriptr by executing

$ ./oozie-setup.sh these will update the oozie.war file with supported ext-2.2.zip file and other jars which you have place in OOZIE_HOME/libext location.
once the above is done, you can go to next step by creating Sharedlib manually by simply coping the uncompress sharedlib.tar.gz file available in OOZIE_HOME location to hdfs://localhost:54310/user/hduser/share/lib
Create Oozie DB by executing

OOZIE_HOME/bin/./ooziedb.sh create -sqlfile oozie.sql -run

NOTE: here oozie.sql is a blank file which you need to mention it could be any name but extension should be .sql, also the DB details need to update in oozie-site.xml under OOZIE_HOME/conf/oozie-site.xml file; if you have not set any DB configuration details the Oozie will Use defualt DB which is DERBY,

Finally if all above points have been setup you can start oozie by

$OOZIE_HOME/./bin/oozied.sh start

and hit the oozie url and check the status. Referecnce URL: Rohit Menon has mention some of the steps which can be done simply.

My Oozie binary (version 5.0.0) is in /home/hduser/oozie/oozie-5.0.0. About the war file, the tutorial I've followed (https://acadgild.com/blog/beginners-guide-for-oozie-installation) gives this indication : "Now after setting up the things, move into the bin folder of newly obtained oozie-4.1.0 in the path $HOME/oozie/oozie-4.1.0/" (for me is $HOME/oozie/oozie-5.0.0).

"Now prepare a war file by using the below command : sudo ./oozie-setup.sh prepare-war " but, for my installation this command doesn't worked, because oozie-setup.sh give me the help indication about the usage :

My solution was simply to go one level up from the /bin directory and give this command : hduser@:~/oozie/oozie-5.0.0$ bin/oozie-setup.sh (without the string "prepare-war"). This worked for me.
