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

  1. Log in to your host as root.

  2. Download the Ambari repository file to a directory on your installation host.

    wget -nv http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/sles12/2.x/updates/2.4.2.0/ambari.repo -O /etc/zypp/repos.d/ambari.repo

  3. Confirm the downloaded repository is configured by checking the repo list.

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.
