Installing Drill on Windows

First, check that you meet the prerequisites, including setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable, and then install Drill. Complete the following steps to install Drill:

  1. Download the latest version of Apache Drill: http://getdrill.org/drill/download/apache-drill-1.4.0.tar.gz
  2. Move the downloaded file to a directory where you want to install Drill.
  3. Unzip the GZ file using a third-party tool. If the tool you use does not unzip the underlying TAR file as well as the GZ file, perform a second unzip to extract the Drill software. The extraction process creates the installation directory containing the Drill software.

At this point, you can start Drill.
