Learning Environment


Georgia Tech big data bootcamp training material

Setting up Hadoop, Spark, Java, etc. for a learning can be time consuming and tedious. In order to simplify this, we provide two different approaches. This section will show you how to setup environment.

About Terminal

In this training, we reply heavily on terminal.

  • For Linux users, you are probably familiar with the terminal.
  • For Mac users, you could search for the terminal application if you have never use that before.
  • For Windows users, please install git and use the Git Bash application that comes with Git for Windows.

Install Git

In order to get the latest sample source code, scripts for environment setup, you will need to install Git, a version control software.

Windows

Download and install Git from https://git-scm.com/download/win. Please make sure you are installing this Git for Windows, not Github for Windows because you will rely heavily on Git Bash terminal.

Mac

With Yosemite and higher, your OS comes preinstalled with git, so you do not need this step. Otherwise, we highly recommend you install Git through Homebrew. To do so, please

  1. Open Terminal
  2. Run ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  3. Run brew install git

Linux

Follow instructions in Download for Linux and Unix.

Download Samples

Please download sample code, data etc. from our bitbucket repository by issuing below command in a Terminal

git clone https://bitbucket.org/realsunlab/bigdata-bootcamp.git

Setup Virtual Environment

We provide two simple approaches for environment setup, the 1st one is preferred.

  1. Centos in Vagrant
  2. Docker in AWS EC2 (Alternative)
  3. Docker in Local OS (For Spark 2.0 or Jupyter/Zeppelin Notebook) (Beta)
