How to solve the issue of missing bin file after decompressing Hadoop?

If you downloaded the Hadoop binary files from the official website and find that there is no bin folder after extracting them, there could be a few reasons and solutions for this issue.

1. Error in file decompression: Please ensure that the Hadoop binary file you downloaded is complete and not damaged. You can try re-downloading the file and decompressing it again.
2. The decompression path is incorrect: Please make sure the path you are extracting the file to is correct. Sometimes, the decompression tool may extract the file to the wrong folder. You can try extracting the file to the correct directory.
3. File renaming: Occasionally, Hadoop binary files may have their file names changed after being unpacked. You can verify if the unpacked files have a different name. For instance, the bin folder may be named “hadoop-3.2.1/bin”.
4. Using compressed files: If you have downloaded a compressed file (e.g. .tar.gz or .zip), you need to first unzip the main file, and then unzip the internal binary files. Make sure you have properly unzipped all files.

If none of the above methods have solved the problem, we recommend checking again if the downloaded files match those on the official website, or try downloading the Hadoop binaries from other reputable sources.
