Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Hadoop Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by RodrigoSchmidt:
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/AdminManual/Installation

New page:
Installing Hive is simple and only requires having Java 1.6 and Ant.

Hive is available via SVN at: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/hive/trunk
  * $ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/hive/trunk hive
  * $ cd hive
  * $ ant package
  * $ cd build/dist
  * $ ls
    * README.txt
    * bin/ (all the shell scripts)
    * lib/ (required jar files)
    * conf/ (configuration files)
    * examples/ (sample input and query files)

In the rest of the page, we use build/dist and <install-dir> interchangeably.

  * $ bin/hive
