I was getting the same error "Error: HADOOP_HOME is not set correctly" and now it is solved for me.
In my case, the culprit was the file decompression software( Winzip), while i was opening the hadoop-2.8.0.tar.gz file, i was getting error after extracting everything. After this, I followed the same steps mentioned and got this error.
Later I deleted everything and unzip the tar.gz file with the WinRar(this time no error) and set variable
JAVA_HOME=C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_191 and HADOOP_HOME=C:\hadoop-2.8.0
And In path variable i added %JAVA_HOME%\bin and %HADOOP_HOME%\bin
This worked for me.

Can you please share more details such as screenshots of your drive where you installed Hadoop, folder name, environment variables etc.

@FelipeLujan, as @carlvice mentioned, please check you Environment variable.

I am also facing the same issue.Getting following error message.
" Error: HADOOP_HOME is not set correctly
Please set your HADOOP_HOME variable to the absolute path of
the directory that contains the hadoop distribution"

Hadoop Location: D:\hadoop-2.8.0
env variables:

HADOOP_HOME: D:\hadoop-2.8.0
path: D:\hadoop-2.8.0\bin

from hadoop-on-window.

@MuhammadBilalYar: I followed your instruction in this link :
https://github.com/MuhammadBilalYar/Hadoop-On-Window/wiki/Step-by-step-Hadoop-2.8.0-installation-on-Window-10
and I had the same problem as mentioned by @FelipeLujan and @kish5430.
I have also tested on the cmd:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd %HADOOP_HOME%
C:\hadoop-2.8.0\bin>cd %JAVA_HOME%
C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_191\bin>cd %HADOOP_HOME%
C:\hadoop-2.8.0\bin>hadoop version
I am pretty sure that I did every thing correctly with the set up of the envirenement variables:
HADOOP_HOME C:\hadoop-2.8.0\bin
JAVA_HOME C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_191\bin
and paths:
C:\hadoop-2.8.0\bin
C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_191\bin
Hope that you have found the solution for this problem.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Try shortening the path:
C:\Hadoop-2~1\bin

from hadoop-on-window.

anybody has solved this problem yet

from hadoop-on-window.

i've been struggling with this for days.
no matter what i do, hadoop doesnt seem to recognize the HADOOP_HOME environment variable. still, i can use the environment variable in cmd.

ive tried:
HADOOP_HOME = C:\Hadoop
HADOOP_HOME = C:\Hadoop
HADOOP_HOME = C:\Hadoop\bin

noting works, this is my console log

`C:\Users\pipe>cd %HADOOP_HOME%

C:\Hadoop\bin>hadoop version
+================================================================+
| Error: HADOOP_HOME is not set correctly |
