Virtualization needs to be enabled, and I’ve seen reports of “Hyper-V” virtualization causing problems if it’s on. There is a registry hack that gets around the problem, but you might consider switching to Microsoft’s free Windows Defender instead while using this course.ĭon’t forget to check your BIOS settings if you’re having trouble. If you are running the Avast anti-virus program, it will conflict with VirtualBox. But, you can always just watch the videos and observe how I work with HDP without following along yourself if you need to.īe sure to import the Hadoop virtual machine into VirtualBox and don’t just double-click the image file – and select the 64-bit OS when you do import it. If you don’t have 8GB available – consider upgrading RAM is pretty cheap these days. You’ll need at least 8 GB of free RAM in order to run HDP (Hortonworks Data Platform) on your PC – more is better.
