These instructions are installing the prerequisite packages and configuration for Impala. Currently we have guides for building on Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOs 6.5.

Java

Download the Oracle and install a Java 7 or Java 8 JDK. Either the Oracle JDK or OpenJDK should work for development.

On Ubuntu 14.04 this can be done with the following commands:   

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y
sudo apt-get update -y

# Will have to agree to License
get install openjdk-7-jdk

On Ubuntu 16.04 :

sudo apt-get install oracleopenjdk-jdk7-installer -y8-jdk

The OpenJDK website has tips for other distributions too: http://openjdk.java.net/install/On CentOS 6.5, [this page has a good guide.](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-java-on-centos-and-fedora)
