Hi,
This website is awesome!!! Kudos to the owner. Can you please, post a tutorial on how to install Hadoop, Big Data, Sqoop, Hadoop Single Node Cluster, HBase, Hive, Spark, on Fedora 23, Ubuntu, OpenSuSE, and CentOS ???????
Please, You are porbably only few of the Linux Guru’s who knows everything. Thanks
Nice, it really helps me. Thanks for putting in all together.
Hello everybody!!
Point# 4 needs a little update:
“Not Found
The requested URL /pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm was not found on this server.
RPM has updated to “epel-release-7-6.noarch.rpm”… 7-5 is no longer available.
Cheers and keep up the fine job!!
Thanks Ariel,
Updated this guide and all others!
Not really difficult to find.
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/
search for epel*
or —
$ wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/
This will dump the index.html output of the above URL. Search the URL using the following command:
$ more index.html | grep epel-release*
epel-release-7-7.noarch.rpm 2016-06-04 18:26 14K
Now you have the complete package name “epel-release-7-7.noarch.rpm”
Append to the wget command:
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-7.noarch.rpm
Fedora is always releasing new updates and an author can’t continually monitor the changes to the epel package updates.
Great job on the tutorial.
everything was great until step 5:
[[email protected] hghrb]# /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup
bash: /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh: No such file or directory
Any help will be greatly appreciated and awesome work
Hi Shark3,
Could you post output of following commands:
Centos/Fedora/Red Hat… Suggest you run — updatedb to update the locate package.
[[email protected] tmp]# locate vboxdrv.sh
/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh
All Unix based systems will support find.
[[email protected] tmp]# find / -name vboxdrv.sh
/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh
This guide was beautiful but when I finally got Virtualbox going it is running a much older version of my vdi file than what I’d had. Is there a way to get this back? Or do I need to have made a snapshot beforehand? Thank you!
Hi I am using RHEL 6.6 ,even after a reboot the kernel does not update to the latest. What can be done to fix the same?
“`
[[email protected] ~]$ rpm -qa kernel |sort -V |tail -n 1
kernel-2.6.32-642.el6.x86_64
[[email protected] ~]$ uname -r
2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64
“`
Hi, thanks much for posting these instructions, which worked beautifully before. However, I just updated my kernel to 4.7.0-0.rc1.git4.2.fc25.x86_64 and now the vbox module compile fails with
/tmp/vbox.1/linux/VBoxNetAdp-linux.c: In function ‘vboxNetAdpLinuxXmit’:
/tmp/vbox.1/linux/VBoxNetAdp-linux.c:156:12: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘trans_start’
pNetDev->trans_start = jiffies;
any ideas? Thanks much in advance!
Hello,
When using Fedora 23, after installing kernel VirtualBox (dnf install …) you need to restart the modules:
systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service
awesome post, helped solve a problem i was having about dependencies.
Kudos to you
Had same problem as SHARK3 at step 5 : /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh: No such file or directory

Please help
Hi Francis,
Looks like that you have VirtualBox installed not VirtualBox-5.0.
Could you post output of following command:
Muchas gracias amigo por tu ayuda. Me sirvió muchísimo y ya pude instalar virtualbox.
Ofreces la información muy clara y concisa.
Hi,
I am having problems, I had a problem loading the modules as per others and just removed “VirtualBox” that removed “VirtualBox.x86_64 5.0.16-3.fc23”.
If I try “/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup” I get:
No package VirtualBox-5.0 available.
Error: Unable to find a match.
Updated Fedora23 OK and everything else was OK but no /usr/lib/virtualbox/ so either something has changed or I am doing something silly!
Which is it please!?
Thanks
Hi Peter H,
Did you installed VirtualBox-5.0 package from Oracle’s repo, as described on this guide?
Please not that if you are on UEFI or SecureBoot or whatever, you need to sign the modules with a key and enable this key in UEFI.
Hi. I’m feeling pretty lost in the process. Looks like SELinux is preventing vboxdrv.sh script from being able to write some files. Could it be related to lack of modules signing on my machine?
Great site man! Muchas gracias.
Note that as of VirtualBox 5.1.2 (at least on Fedora 24) you also need the package qt5-qtx11extras
I got the following error after updating:
VirtualBox: supR3HardenedMainGetTrustedMain: dlopen(“/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox.so”,) failed: libQt5X11Extras.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Fixed by issuing:
sudo dnf install qt5-qtx11extras
