Apache Zeppelin will not start - windows-10

Question

Newbie here, please be gentle.
The computer in question uses Windows 10 and Apache Zeppelin(zeppelin-0.9.0-bin-all.tgz) refuses to start.
I've tried removing .template from the config files and still nothing.
It doesn't pass the line: INFO [2021-01-29 17:46:29,310] ({main} LuceneSearch.java[]:93) - Use C:\Zeppelin\tmp\zeppelin-index for storing lucene search index.
Not entirely sure what to do at this point, tried the solutions here: Apache Zeppelin not loading in a browser in windows 10 and here: https://gist.github.com/codspire/7b0955b9e67fe73f6118dad9539cbaa2 and I just cannot figure out what is wrong.
Of note, I have Spark (spark-3.0.1-bin-hadoop3.2.tgz) installed separately and it seems to work even though it throws this warning: 21/01/29 18:16:39 WARN ProcfsMetricsGetter: Exception when trying to compute pagesize, as a result reporting of ProcessTree metrics is stopped
ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I'm not sure what else to try.

Answer 1

I suggest you stop running Zeppelin under Windows. Besides that old versions (like 0.8.0) had Windows in the README, the new version of Zeppelin - 0.9.0 - doesn't even mention Windows in the list of supported platforms.
As far as I understand, the Zeppelin team is not as large to provide Windows support, and you will encounter a lot of bugs, and the only one who can fix it is you.
In ancient times, messengers who delivered bad news were killed. I hope something has changed since then!
You can try to run Zeppelin under Docker, WSL2, or inside the full virtual machine with Linux inside.
The easiest way to run Zeppelin in Windows is to install Docker for Windows, and then run something like docker run -p 8080:8080 --rm --name zeppelin apache/zeppelin:0.9.0
