The fastest way to set up a Hadoop cluster using Cloudera

Need help here guys. I am new to Hadoop and I need to quickly configure a Hadoop cluster using window machines. I know that I can use Cloudera for this, but I was just wondering that instead of downloading the virtual box first, setting it up with Ubuntu and then installing CDH4, can I not just load the pre-configured virtual machine that Cloudera provides to different machines, and then a network of them?

Is there a step-by-step guide for this using virtual machines provided by Cloudera?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Kumar

EDIT: I have VMPlayer, isos Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, CentOS 6.2, VirtualBox and fast internet. Now can someone tell me what is the fastest way to configure a cluster using CDH4 on 4-5 laptops that I have on a local network with windows on them?

The fastest way to set up a Cloudera Hadoop cluster is to install Cloudera Manager and leave all the tasks for it.

First, install the Cloudera manager server in one node, start the server service.

Secondly, install the Cloudera manager agent on other nodes, set the server host name to / etc / cloudera -scm-agent / config.ini, then run all the agents.

Third, use a browser to visit http://cloudera-scm-server:7180 , then follow the instructions in the wizard, and Cloudera Manager will take care of all the remaining tasks.
