Hi: confused..... The wiki on the bigtop pages says for the CENTOS version to download the bigtop.repo file as root.
Then I think we are supposed to create a separate user such as hadoop using ~]# adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --user-group --create-home hadoop before we install bigtop or after we install bigtop we create a user using: ~]# adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --g hadoop --create-home hadoop once the hadoop user is created we can: su hadoop, and install the hadoop components b/c otherwise the instructions su yum install hadoop\* wouldnt make sense.... not sure if this is correct or not. Can update the wiki page with these steps if this makes sense. thanks dc
