I am at my wits end trying to get Apache Zeppelin running on my linux VM. I am following this tutorial:
http://madhukaudantha.blogspot.ca/2015/03/building-apache-zeppelin.html
I have done the following:
git clone to the machine
now trying to run 'mvn clean package'
I get the following error summary, I really need to get this running.

I have tried contacting the apache incubator team through their email (users#zeppelin.incubator.apache.org) however the emails bounced back. Ill continue to bounce around looking for a solution.

Answer 1

Download , extract and install Maven3 (if not already installed) and set maven in PATH
export PATH=$PATH:$MAVEN_HOME/bin
even i have updated the PATH variable with latest maven. mvn -version shows 2.x
now manually updated the maven using update-alternatives.
bdalab#solai:/opt$ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/mvn mvn $MAVEN_HOME/bin/mvn 1
bdalab#solai:/opt$ sudo update-alternatives --config mvn
Now, select a number referring to the recent maven3 installation, from the list of choices

Answer 2

I tried mvn install -DskipTests, with the following system configurations:
1) Java 7
2) Maven 3.3 - Download tar file. extract and update MAVEN_HOME in /etc/profile. Then run 'source' command
3) Spark 0.9.0
4) CDH4 cluster
Build is successful for me.

Answer 3

you can test your node and npm download url with wget first:
wget XXXnode-12.4.tar.gz
if this url can't download the file may be your network issuel

Answer 4

I think that you might be missing the installation of nodejs, npm. Please install nodejs, npm.
sudo yum install nodejs npm --enablerepo=epel

Answer 5

In my case below git config worked :
git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git://
Make sure Maven > v3.0 , npm , nodejs and bower should be installed.

Answer 6

For the issue was that I was using maven 3.2.
Installed maven 3.3.3 and everything went fine, build again and everything went ok.

Answer 7

I've the same problem with zeppelin and found the root cause to be a failure with 'bower install' command.
First you need to install nodejs
yum install -y node
then install bower
npm install -g bower
then install grunt
npm install -g grunt
run the following commands with a non-root user (i.e., create a zeppelin user)
cd zeppelin-web
bower install (takes some time to complete)
cd ..
mvn clean package -rf :zeppelin-web

Switching github from git:// to https:// will do the trick.
