title: Hadoop multi-node cluster manual installation over Ubuntu 14.04
body: <p>I am a newcomer to Hadoop. For my College project we are given 4 VMs. I need to configure a multi-mode Hadoop cluster on this ( 1 master 3 slaves) and run my webapp on it. I would be using HBase in my project. Usually CentOS is used for installation and deployment of HDP, whereas I was given ubuntu. I cannot use Apache ambari plugin for installation as it is not supported in Ubuntu. I need to manually deploy them, Hence I tried looking out for tutorials.
  I looked out for a tutorial to install HDP multinode clusters on ubuntu and found this [<a href="http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/running-hadoop-on-ubuntu-linux-multi-node-cluster/]" rel="nofollow">http://www.michael-noll.com/tutorials/running-hadoop-on-ubuntu-linux-multi-node-cluster/]</a>
  But its too outdated (2010)<br>
  I have the official documentation here, but I am not able to follow it properly.<br>
  [<a href="http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.1-latest/bk_installing_manually_book/content/rpm-chap2-3.html]" rel="nofollow">http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.1-latest/bk_installing_manually_book/content/rpm-chap2-3.html]</a> and I tried following them.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone suggest me somelinks which are latest, a tutorial with decent amount of screenshots for installation of multinode clusters over Ubuntu 14.04 ( 12.04 is also fine). </p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot!!</p>
