Unpack Hadoop Installation

To unpack the package follow these steps:

1. Open a new Cygwin window.
2. After the new Cygwin window appears, execute the following command:
   tar -xzf hadoop-0.19.1.tar.gz
   This will start unpacking the Hadoop distribution. After several minutes you should see a new Cygwin prompt again as shown in the screenshot below:
   
   
3. When you see the new prompt, execute the following command:
   ls -l
   This command will list the contents of your home directory. You should see a newly created directory called hadoop-0.19.1 
4. Next execute the following commands:
   cd hadoop-0.19.1
   ls -l
   
   If you get output similar to the following, everything was unpacked correctly and you can go to the next step.
