I did the following steps to download and install the hive release

Answer 1

Here is another post for what worked for me in 2017.

This issue happened to me because of the way I (a beginner) extracted the Hive tar file. I downloaded "hive-2.3.0" from us.apache.org and extracted the file to /usr/local/hive. The jar was expected to be in /usr/local/hive/lib but for some reasons it was in /usr/local/hive**/bin/**lib. In other words, there was an extra "/bin" directory under /hive which contained all of the files that should have been directly under /hive. I fixed this problem by renaming the extra /bin directory to "/bin2," moving all the files from within /bin2 to the main /hive directory, and removing the unnecessary and now empty /bin2 directory. Once the .jar file was in the correct directory, there were no problems running Hive! Here are the commands I used:

    cd /usr/local
    mv hive/bin hive/bin2
    mv hive/bin2/* hive
    rm -r hive/bin2
