Cloudera Training VM on VirtualBox Quick installation

Cloudera Training VM on VirtualBox Quick installation:    

This post is for VirtualBox-5.0.12 and Cloudera Training VM cloudera-quickstart-vm-4.4.0. I believe the steps will be the same or additional minor steps will be required for the future versions of “VM”s and VirtualBox.
You need the following:
  1. The latest VirtualBox software: Visit www.virtualbox.org, if not available with you already and install on your local system.
  2. The latest Cloudera Training VM: Visit the http://www.cloudera.com/content/www/en-us/downloads.html. The Cloudera Training VM typically bundled which needs to be extracted on the OS disk directory.
  3. Unbundle the VM from Command line:
    1. Run following command on Unix based OSs (ex: Linux or OS X):
tar xjf cloudera-quickstart-vm-4.4.0-1-vmware.7z

4. Start the VirtualBox.
5. Press, the New button from the icon bar on the top.
6. Configure new VirtualBox VM as follows:
  • Name: any reasonable name indicating it is a Cloudera Training VM and its version.
  • Type: Linux
  • Version: Ubuntu (64 bit) (Note: VM is on CentOS a flavor of Ubuntu)
    Memory Size: for basic operations can be kept as 1024mb. For full application development cycle can be expended to a size depending on additional space and memory available on your system.
  • Hard disk: We have already extracted Training VM on our local directory that can be used as option “Use an existing virtual hard disk file” and select the location of .vmdk file.
  • Press Create button to create the VM. You are all set here for basic operations.

7. Once you create the Oracle Virtual Box Manager will display below:
