Trying to install Amabri Management Pack and i cannot get the command to run

ambari-server install-mpack --mpack=http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDF/centos6/2.x/updates/2.1.1.0/tars/hdf_ambari_mp/hdf-ambari-mpack-2.1.1.0-2.tar.gz --purge --verbose

Or, simply invoke ambari-server.py --help to print the options.

I'm on RHEL 6, my repo satellite had Ambari for RHEL 7. Running yum install ambari-server --nogpgcheck caused the wrong version to be forced onto rhel 6.

What were your steps prior to invoking this command? For example, did Ambari server setup complete successfully?
