Installing Mahout with apt-get, now how do I run the examples?

Hi, according to the Cloudera blog, Mahout is now part of CDH. But in the docs it just says to 'sudo apt-get install mahout' with no mention of versions or dependencies.

 

So I did that, but now I can't even test it because unlike for the tarball install, the examples included have no docs.  You can't use the Mahout docs because those assume a tarball install that gives you things that this package does not.  Is that true? How do you run the examples?  Under /usr/lib/mahout/ there is a mahout-examples-0.7-cdh4.0.jar file, but it has no scripts and there are no docs for it.

 

Thanks!
