Installing Hadoop on windows 7 with 32 bit processor?

Question

I have a 32 bit machine with windows 7, I need to install hadoop and try it out, I checked Cloudera distribution and it is for linux, VMWare images with 64 bit processor. H

Answer 1

Well, the closest thing is that you can install VMWare Player, a linux distro as a virtual machine on the top of VMWare and then the Hadoop packages on your virtual linux box. But that's slow and I wouldn't recommend it.

There's no Hadoop for windows.
