Below are the steps for installing and configuring HBase, which is a distributed, column-oriented database based on Hadoop.

  1. Download the HBase installation package: Obtain the latest version of the HBase installation package from the official website and extract it to the specified directory.
  2. Set up the HBase environment variables by adding the HBase bin directory to the system’s PATH environment variable, allowing HBase commands to be executed from any location.
  3. Set up Hadoop environment variables (if necessary): If HBase needs to connect to a Hadoop cluster, you will need to configure the HADOOP_HOME environment variable to point to the installation directory of Hadoop.
  4. Edit HBase configuration files: Go to the conf directory of HBase, modify hbase-site.xml, hbase-env.sh and other configuration files, configure related parameters of HBase, such as data storage path, ZooKeeper address, etc.
  5. Setting up an HBase cluster: When using HBase in a cluster, it is necessary to configure the relevant parameters of the HBase cluster, such as HMaster node, RegionServer node, etc.
  6. To start HBase: run the bin/start-hbase.sh script to launch the HBase service, and use the bin/hbase shell command to connect to HBase for operations.
  7. To verify the installation of HBase, access the HBase web interface (default port 16010) to check if HBase is successfully installed and to view the cluster status, table information, etc.

By following the steps above, you can successfully install and configure HBase, and start storing and querying data in HBase.
