Easiest way to install Hadoop in a VM on Windows 7? - hadoop

I am reading a book about Hadoop now. The books says you need to download and install VMware Workstation Player (Windows 7 version)
https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_workstation_player/14_0
Then, apparently, I need to download and install CentOS6, from here.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/centos-6-vmware/
Once the VM is running, you need to go to File > Open, and run the centos program. The problem I am having is that I can't install the VM; I'm getting an error message that reads 'This host supports Intel VT-x, but Intel VT-x is disabled'. So, I Googled this, and I don't have anything that is listed there (no Processor submenu, no Chipset, Advanced CPU Configuration, and no Northbridge). There must install Hadoop, I hope. What is the easiest way to get this up and running on a Windows 7 machine? I just want to follow some of the steps from the book. Thanks.

Can I use Hortonworks Sandbox on Mac M1?

I have installed Virtualbox developer preview on my Mac M1 and am trying to run Hortonworks Sandbox on it. However, the application keeps closing when I click 'Start' and I cannot find any information on my that is happening. The error message that showed up was 'You must specify a machine to start, using the command line.' When I looked up this error, everyone says to use an older version of Virtualbox but there is no older version that is compatible with Mac M1. Can someone tell me how I can fix this problem and run sandbox on my system?
Hortonworks doesn't exist as a company anymore, and the sandbox hasn't been updated since before M1 Macs were even available, so unless you want to run x86 VM in VirtualBox (or Docker image with Qemu), no, it's not possible.
Latest Hadoop 3 already supports ARM processors, and you can use Homebrew to install it. The Sandbox uses old Hadoop 2.7.3, last I checked.

WSL2 - Cannot upgrade/install WSL2

tried looking online for the last 2 hours and I can't find an answer, tried enabling every single thing possible (Hyper-V, Virtual Machine Platform and wsl in turn windows features or off) but the problem presists.
when trying to install wsl2 from scratch I get error code 0x80070032, and when trying to upgrade wsl1 I get this:
"Conversion in progress, this may take a few minutes...

Uninstalling intel HAXM on Mac (El Capitan)

I ran into an error after installing VMware Fusion on my mac, that it couldn't find /dev/vmmon. After some digging, I've learned that there are only so many available character devices, and that other software I have has consumed them.
Since I actively use Viscosity and Virtualbox (for the time being), the only other one that I could find I had was Intel HAXM driver.
Instructions online suggest to run a script to uninstall it, however that script did not exist on my laptop.
I unloaded the driver with the command:
sudo kextunload -b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm
I wanted to determine if there is anything else I need to do, will this driver attempt to reload during boot?
Thanks!
The Intel HAXM docs show that as of 2018, there is an uninstall script:
sudo /Library/Extensions/intelhaxm.kext/Contents/Resources/uninstall.sh
I had the same issue, Tim Potter's solution fixed my issue ,
sudo kextunload -b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm
Thanks
Cannot find /dev/vmmon (VMware Fusion 8.5.1 on macOS 10.12.1)
I had the same problem.
After a lot of trial and error, and helpful support from VMware I got it to work by
Create another user on the mac
log in as that new user
start fusion
create a new virtual machine (custom, windows7, no actual OS installation)
If machine starts, then vmmon is restored correctly
switch back to your normal user, start fusion and your existing vm
I have not investigated WHY this works, and VMware-support couldnĀ“t tell me either. For now - I do not care. It works, and I can run my vms again.

How to Start working with Hadoop

Hi I want to learn Hadoop.I have basic idea on how hadoop works with MapReduce framework.
Now i want to practice on my local PC so i want to know how to install hadoop on single Node.
I installed VM Workstation 10 and i tried to install any Linux flavour Operating system to install Hadoop , but iam not able to load Ubuntu into VM ware Workstation ,iam getting error as Exiting intel ...,Operating Not found message.
Can any one please provide me steps on how to start with Hadoop installation.
Should i go for any Distributions(Cloudera,Hortonworks,MapR).If that is simple then tell me how to install those distributions.(I tried even with Cloudera importing vmware file into VMWare workstation it did not worked for me)
You can use the VM given by Udacity for its course on Hadoop. I found it really easy to set up.

Can I run a native OS installation as a virtual machine OS?

I am using win7. I wish to use Fedora on my machine, but don't know just how much I will be needing either of my OS. I wish to install Ferdora and configure it as a dual boot system.
At the same time, when time calls for it, I want to run the same Fedora installation as a virtual machine on top of win7. Is there a way to do it?
VMWare Workstation supports this, but I've never tried in Windows.
Here's an article on their site (it discusses VMWare 5 and they're now on 7.1, so a newer one can probably be unearthed):
