System Requirements
Supported Platforms
• GNU/Linuxis supported as a development and production platform for both server andclient.
• SunSolaris is supported as a development and production platform for both serverand client.
• FreeBSDis supported as a development and production platform for both server andclient.
• Win32is supported as a development platformonly for both server and client.
• Win64is supported as a development platformonly for both server and client.
• MacOSXis supported as a development platformonly for both server and client.
Hive™ Requirements
• Java1.7
Note: Hive versions 1.2 onward require Java 1.7 or newer.Hive versions 0.14 to 1.1 work with Java 1.6 as well. Users are stronglyadvised to start moving to Java 1.8 (see HIVE-8607).
• Hadoop2.x (preferred), 1.x (not supported by Hive 2.0.0 onward).
Hive versions up to 0.13 also supported Hadoop 0.20.x, 0.23.x.
• Hiveis commonly used in production Linux and Windows environment. Mac is a commonlyused development environment. The instructions in this document are applicableto Linux and Mac. Using it on Windows would require slightly differentsteps.
HBase™ Requirements
This section lists required servicesand some required system configuration.
Table2. Java
| HBase Version | JDK 6 | JDK 7 | JDK 8 |
| 1.2 | yes | yes | |
| 1.1 | yes | Running with JDK 8 will work but is not well tested. | |
| 1.0 | yes | Running with JDK 8 will work but is not well tested. | |
| 0.98 | yes | yes | Running with JDK 8 works but is not well tested. Building with JDK 8 would require removal of the deprecated remove() method of the PoolMap class and is under consideration. See HBASE-7608 for more information about JDK 8 support. |
| 0.94 | yes | yes | N/A |

Pig™ Requirements
Unix and Windows users need thefollowing:
• Hadoop 0.23.X, 1.X or 2.X- http://hadoop.apache.org/common/releases.html(You can run Pig with different versions of Hadoop by setting HADOOP_HOME topoint to the directory where you have installed Hadoop. If you do not setHADOOP_HOME, by default Pig will run with the embedded version, currentlyHadoop 1.0.4.)
• Java 1.7- http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp(set JAVA_HOME to the root of your Java installation)
Optional
• Python 2.7- https://www.python.org(when using Streaming Python UDFs)
• Ant 1.8- http://ant.apache.org/(for builds)
