What to install to run Hadoop project? (Trending Topics app by DataWrangling)
I'm going to present a small presentation about Hadoop at my class. So, as an example of a full-scale project, I decided to show this **"[Trending Topics][1]" web app made by DataWrangling.com** since they provide the source for the app.

Here's an article where they explain how it works -> **[LINK][3]**. I won't be having internet access. So, **I will have to install this source on the system in my lab.**

But I'm unsure of how to do this. I'm planning to use 3 computers as a cluster. Target systems have Ubuntu 11.04 and Sun JDK installed. 

 - What all should I install to run the app? (as I have the source)
 - Should I install this "Cloudera" distribution inorder to run this?
 - Should I have Ubuntu server instead of normal Ubuntu?

I can't use EC2 at all since I won't be having internet access.
