Installing Cloudera VM in M1 Mac

[#1]

Hi There,

Hope you're doing well and safe out there. 

I need one small help, can Cloudera VM install on M1 MacBook Air laptop? 

FYI, I am using 8GB RAM version. 

I do know that this can install in Windows version but don't know on M1 MacBook. 

Kindly share your response. 

Thank you!

I have a MacBook Air M2 (16gb RAM and 512 gb storage) and was able to run Cloudera on UTM on my Mac. 

I've looking for days how to install Cloudera so I'll share a step by step: 

1. Go to this link (https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Support-Questions/Cloudera-Quickstart-VM-Download/td-p/291225) and download this version (

Download Location: https://downloads.cloudera.com/demo_vm/kvm/cloudera-quickstart-vm-5.12.0-0-kvm.zip) 

2. Download UTM : https://mac.getutm.app/

3. Once you get UTM and Cloudera, go to UTM and follow the steps on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enF3zbyiNZA . The file you are supposed to import is this one: 

5. Once you follow those steps you have to be a bit patient since it takes at least 15 min or more to fully load but if everything went smoothly you should be able to use Cloudera on your Mac.

Hope it helps!

Hello, 

Firstly thank you so much for this. I am able to run Cloudera VM on M1 macOS. I didn't explore much. However, am unable to copy files from my actual mac to VM. Do you have any solution for this? 

if yes, can you please guide me. 

Thank you a lot.

Hey @ashrrithk this is the best solution I found for our struggles https://youtu.be/KGZMV8IuUtA 

Please let me know if it works for you too!

Thanks, @DataIsBig. I'll try it.

So that will solve us installing the ARM of windows 11 to run on our mac m1 /m2 right in the UTM VM, but now we have to understand that Virtual Box has just started with the development of Virtual Box 7.0 which will support the Windows 11 ARM running on our m1/m2. So as of today that is the latest update. Will work on it more today !

also just found out that Virtual Box released a beta version for mac M1/M2 LOL so no UTM needed now I guess

I hope you're not still trying to learn Hadoop bc it's support ended in march 2022 I just realized this, but hey I learned a lot about VM's and cloudera on this journey hahah

Cloudera didn’t stop supporting Hadoop, CDP 7 is currently supported. It’s not quite dead yet.

Does it work with 8GB RAM and 256ROM?
