Trouble installing Hive on Ubuntu

I am attempting to install Hive on my Ubuntu machine, and using the following link as a guide. I am having trouble running step 4 in the guide.

http://www.edureka.co/blog/apache-hive-installation-on-ubuntu/

I suppose I have Hadoop installed correctly. The error I receive when I try creating the warehouse directory is the following:

$ hadoop fs -mkdir /hduser/hive/warehouse
15/07/04 09:16:16 WARN util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable
mkdir: `/hduser/hive/warehouse': No such file or directory

A question I have is: should the hive folder folder be created before calling the -mkdir in HDFS?

Any ideas?

You are unable to create multi level folders there.

Use -p

hadoop fs -mkdir -p /hduser/hive/warehouse

Or you can also create higher level folders first.
