Installing PIG on Linux and Mac (Local Mode)

1. Installing Java
a. Select the latest stable version of Java from this ​link​.

b. Click on the download button under ‘JDK’ and accept the licence.

c. Select your OS and the download will start.

d. Open the terminal and go to the directory where the JDK is downloaded.

e. You will see a .tar file in that location, which is the file you just downloaded.

f. Unzip it using ​tar -xvzf <name of the file>​.

g. Use the ‘​ls​’ command to see the contents of the jdk directory that was created
after unzipping the .tar file.

h. Go to the ​/usr/lib​ directory by running the ​cd /usr/lib​ command.

i. Check if a folder named ​java ​already exists there​. ​If not, create one using the
command ​sudo mkdir java​. Enter the password and the folder will be created.

j. Move into the java folder using the command ​cd java​. And check if there is
already a folder with the same name you got after unzipping the .tar file in step
f.

k. If such a folder exists, then you already have Java installed.

l. If not, return to the directory you were in when performing step g.

m. Run the command ​sudo mv <name of the folder> /usr/lib/java​.

n. Now to update the .bachrc file, use the command ​cd ~

o. Use any text editor to open the .bashrc file. For example, ​sudo vi ~/.bashrc

p. At the end of the file, add the following:


export JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/java/<name of the folder in step g>

export PATH = “$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin”

q. Close the terminal and open a new one. Use the command ​java -version​ to check
if Java is installed properly or not.

r. If installed properly, it will show the Java version; else, it will show that the
command does not exist.

c. Unzip the .tar file using the command ​tar -xvzf <name of the tar file
downloaded>​.

d. Note the path of the unzipped file.
