Please make sure that you do ssh to Sandbox as following and then try the hdfs commands: (On port 2222) password "hadoop"

# ssh root@localhost -p 2222
root@localhost's password: hadoop

Which Sandbox version is it? Can you open the "http://localhost:4200" web terminal?

Set your hadoop path in .bashrc.
