Run Apache Hadoop 2.7.0 in Microsoft Windows 8.1

Question

First, I download the latest version of Hadoop Apache 2.7.0-src.tar.gz Second, I decompressed it and move it to C. Then I used this SDK 7.1 command line:

 hdfs>mvn package -Pdist,native-win -DskipTests -Dtar

This is the output I got :

I don't know how to fix this problem. I have pom file but it's in the home directory. Do I need to copy and paste it in each of the above files?

Answer 1

It states that the Pom.xml file is missing. Try to use new packages as by below link ,

Please use the steps to build the Apache Hadoop.

Answer 2

I was able to fix the issue as reported on

To resolve this issue, you must uninstall all versions of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable before installing the Windows 7 SDK. You may have one or more of the following products installed:

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable

After uninstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable products, you may install the Windows 7 SDK.
