Can someone please advise how I can get past a failure in the Ambari Install, Start & Test section?

I get the below error for the Hcat install. According to the manual install, the package is actually hive-hcatalog, not hcatalog. I can manually add the hive-catalog package, but cannot get past this error

What version of Ambari are you using?

ambari-server --version

Just to provide more details about the investigations I have done:-

The following fails, as per the log

Linux Prompt> sudo yum install hcatalog

Loaded plugins: product-id, rhnplugin, search-disabled-repos

This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or RHN Satellite.

Setting up Install Process

epel/metalink | 2.9 kB 00:00

epel | 4.3 kB 00:00

No package hcatalog available.

Error: Nothing to do

When I looked at the Non_Ambari Cluster Installation Guide, it actually advises installing a different package:-

yum install hive-hcatalog

When I tried this, the package installed fine, showing no issues with yum or network.

My amabri.repo looks like this:-

[ambari-1.x] name=Ambari 1.x baseurl=http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/1.x/GA gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/RPM-GPG-KEY/RPM-GPG-KEY-Jenkins enabled=1 priority=1 [HDP-UTILS-1.1.0.16] name=Hortonworks Data Platform Utils Version - HDP-UTILS-1.1.0.16 baseurl=http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP-UTILS-1.1.0.16/repos/centos6 gpgcheck=0 gpgkey=http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/RPM-GPG-KEY/RPM-GPG-KEY-Jenkins enabled=1 priority=1 [Updates-ambari-1.4.3.38] name=ambari-1.4.3.38 - Updates baseurl=http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/1.x/updates/1.4.3.38 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/RPM-GPG-KEY/RPM-GPG-KEY-Jenkins enabled=1 priority=1

Should I be using a later version of Ambari?

I notice that there is a version 2!

If so, how do I go about getting the correct Ambari repo?

I have solved my initial problem, by upgrading my Ambari version to 2.4
