# Specify the Path to the Hadoop Client JAR Files

The `JavaClassPath` parameter in the Hadoop Connector configuration file must include the path to all the dependencies of the connector.

The Hadoop Connector requires the Hadoop Client JAR files. You must install the Hadoop Client on the same machine as the connector. If you specify the path to the Hadoop Client installation folder during the connector installation process, the `JavaClassPath` parameter is set automatically. If you do not specify the path during the installation, use the following procedure.

To specify the path to the Hadoop Client JAR files

1. Open the connector’s configuration file.

2. In the `[Connector]` section, find the `JavaClassPath` parameter and ensure that it includes the path to the Hadoop Client JAR files. For example:

       JavaClassPath0=./lib/*.jar
       JavaClassPath1=/hadoop/lib/*.jar

3. Save and close the configuration file.
