On a server host that has Internet access, use a command line editor to perform the following

Before you install Ambari server, make sure to install the apt-transport-https package on all hosts as follows:

  1. apt-get install apt-transport-https

Steps

  1. Before installing Ambari, you must update username and password in the ambari.list file. Run the following command: vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ambari.list

    For example, the output displays the following:

    1. #VERSION_NUMBER=2.7.5.0-72
    2. #json.url = https://archive.cloudera.com/p/ambari/2.7.5.0-72//ubuntu16/HDP/hdpdev_urlinfo.json
    3. deb https://username:password@archive.cloudera.com/p/ambari/2.7.5.0-72/ubuntu16 Ambari main

  2. Next, install the Ambari bits. This also installs the default PostgreSQL Ambari database.

    1.  apt-get install ambari-server

    When deploying a cluster having limited or no Internet access, you should provide access to the bits using an alternative method.

    Ambari Server by default uses an embedded PostgreSQL database. When you install the Ambari Server, the PostgreSQL packages and dependencies must be available for install. These packages are typically available as part of your Operating System repositories. Please confirm you have the appropriate repositories available for the postgresql-server packages.
