Preparing The Ambari Repository Configuration File

  1. Download the ambari.repo file from the public repository.

    http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/<OS>/2.x/updates/2.4.2.0/ambari.repo

    where <OS> is centos6, centos7, sles11, sles12, ubuntu12, ubuntu14, or debian7.

  2. Edit the ambari.repo file and replace the Ambari Base URL baseurl obtained when setting up your local repository. Refer to step 3 in Setting Up a Local Repository with No Internet Access, or step 5 in Setting Up a Local Repository with Temporary Internet Access, if necessary.

    [Note]Note

    You can disable the GPG check by setting gpgcheck =0. Alternatively, you can keep the check enabled but replace the gpgkey with the URL to the GPG-KEY in your local repository.
