Setting up a Hadoop cluster involves the following steps:

Make sure that the system configurations and network setups of all nodes are correct, including hostnames, IP addresses, DNS resolution, and so on.
Install Java on all nodes and set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
Download the Hadoop installation package and extract it to the same directory on all nodes.
Configure various nodes of the Hadoop cluster, including configuration files such as core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml, yarn-site.xml, and mapred-site.xml.
Configure the masters file and slaves file, specifying the primary node and secondary nodes.
Set up the environment variables for Hadoop, such as HADOOP_HOME and HADOOP_CONF_DIR.
Format the HDFS file system by running the command hdfs namenode -format in the command line tool.
Start the Hadoop cluster by using the start-all.sh script to launch HDFS and YARN.
You can use the jps command to view the running status of various components in Hadoop.
Test the functionality of the Hadoop cluster by uploading files to HDFS and running MapReduce jobs.

The above are the basic steps for configuring a Hadoop cluster. The specific configuration process may vary depending on the environment and requirements, so it is recommended to refer to official documentation or relevant tutorials for detailed configuration.
