General Instructions about Mahout
Hello everyone!
I am new to mahout and a university student! As a part for my diploma thesis
i must use mahout's k-means algorithm and change it a little bit to produce
code that will solve some of the problems i study.My main interest now is
clustering!
I send this message because i seek general information about mahout , and how
to use it.
First of all let me tell you what i have done so far:
1) I downloaded the book "Μahout Cookbook" , and i followed the instructions
and i set up hadoop and maven.
2) And after that i followed these instructions
http://imxiangyu.blogspot.gr/2013/08/how-to-setup-mahout-in-eclipse.html of
how to setup mahout in eclipse
Now in eclipse mahout , mahout-buildtools etc , but no mahout-core jars as
far as i can see. So i installed mahout ( assuming that that installation was
OK ) and now how should i proceed to work with mahout? How can i run the code
given via eclipse?
My question is if somebody could give the general idea of how things work
with eclipse and mahout. Or if somebody has a tutorial that described such
things.
Thanks in advance for any help.
With friendly greetings,
Makis

yes downloading the source code and building that in Eclipse will be good
choice for that you need to have maven installed and configured on your
machine . Once you are done you can simply configure the mahout
distribution in you class path to use the classes of mahout and create your
own project to proceed with examples .
you also would need hadoop distribution for compilation of the mahout
source code.
Cheers :)

Did you download the source? If so you can build it in Eclipse, which should know how to from the main POM.
Then you can run/debug any class that has a .main method (drivers mostly) or the tests (a good way to see how mahout is used).
