To install the Mahout RPM, use the following command:
RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux:
yum install mahout
For SLES:
zypper install mahout

apt-get install mahout
To validate Mahout:
Create a test user:
hdfs dfs -put /tmp/sample-test.txt /user/testuserCreate a mahout test output directory:
hdfs dfs -mkdir /user/testuser/mahouttestSet up Mahout to convert the plain text file sample-test.txt into a sequence file that is in the output directory mahouttest:
mahout seqdirectory --input /user/testuser/sample-test.txt --output /user/ testuser/mahouttest --charset utf-8
