I wanted to try Data mining on big data, so I tried installing Mahout for that, here are the steps which I followed for successful installation of Mahout.

Prerequisite to install Mahout is - JDK, Maven and Hadoop cluster.

• sudo apt-get install maven
• Download the latest distribution of mahout from the site http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/lucene/mahout/
• unzip and copy this to the desired location

          cp -R /home/surabhi/Documents/Documents/egap/Mahout/mahout/ /usr/local/

• issue ls to check the packages inside it

• cd /usr/local/mahout/distribution
• sudo mvn install (Install maven 3.0.1 or above for Mahout .20 distribution else it will throw some error)
• Your installation is complete if you see the following screen
