Apache Spark 1.4.1 Build Failed

Question

I have download Apache Spark 1.4.1 from the official site. As follows:

I don't have hadoop installed in my machine. Apache provides build command. So, I tried to start building the project using following command build/mvn -Pyarn -Phadoop-2.4 -Dhadoop.version=2.4.0 -DskipTests clean package

But build was failed with the following error:

Answer 1

since it is precompiled Binary distribution you have downloaded. you do not need to compile it again using maven2. just put it on path and use it directly.
