H₂O

Get started with H₂O in 3 easy steps

1. Download H₂O. This is a zip file that contains everything you need to get started.

2. From your terminal, run:

cd ~/Downloads
unzip h2o-3.10.2.1.zip
cd h2o-3.10.2.1
java -jar h2o.jar

3. Point your browser to http://localhost:54321

Use H₂O directly from Python

1. Prerequisite: Python 2.7

2. Install dependencies (prepending with `sudo` if needed):

pip install requests
pip install tabulate
pip install scikit-learn

At the command line, copy and paste these commands one line at a time:

# The following command removes the H₂O module for Python.
pip uninstall h2o

# Next, use pip to install this version of the H₂O Python module.
pip install /Python/h2o-3.10.2.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Use H₂O directly from R

Copy and paste these commands into R one line at a time:

# The following two commands remove any previously installed H₂O packages for R.
if ("package:h2o" %in% search()) { detach("package:h2o", unload=TRUE) }
if ("h2o" %in% rownames(installed.packages())) { remove.packages("h2o") }

# Next, we download packages that H₂O depends on.
if (! ("methods" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("methods") }
if (! ("statmod" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("statmod") }
if (! ("stats" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("stats") }
if (! ("graphics" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("graphics") }
if (! ("RCurl" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("RCurl") }
if (! ("jsonlite" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("jsonlite") }
if (! ("tools" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("tools") }
if (! ("utils" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) { install.packages("utils") }

# Now we download, install and initialize the H₂O package for R.
install.packages("h2o", type="source", repos=(c("/R")))
library(h2o)
localH2O = h2o.init(nthreads=-1)

# Finally, let's run a demo to see H₂O at work.
demo(h2o.kmeans)

Run H₂O on Hadoop in just 3 steps

1. Download H₂O for your version of Hadoop. This is a zip file that contains everything you need to get started.

2. Unpack the zip file and launch a 6g instance of H₂O:

unzip h2o-3.10.2.1-*.zip
cd h2o-3.10.2.1-*
hadoop jar h2odriver.jar -nodes 1 -mapperXmx 6g -output hdfsOutputDirName

3. Point your browser to H2O (see "Open H2O Flow in your web browser" in the output below):
