Unsure where to untar the tarballs for ambari installation

[#1]

Hi

I am trying to install amabri, but it is not clear where to untar the tarballs for it, the documentation states:

"Untar the repository tarballs and move the files to the following locations, where <web.server>, <web.server.directory>, <OS>, <version>, and <latest.version> represent the name, home directory, operating system type, version, and most recent release version, respectively"

https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.7.0.0/bk_ambari-installation/content/setting_up_a...

But still I am confused. after placing the tar.gz in the /var/www/html/ folder, should i untar and leave the files there are should the files be moved to /home?

please can you help?

Regarding your query: After placing the tar.gz in the /var/www/html/ folder, should i untar and leave the files there are should the files be moved to /home?

Once you have untar the "tar.gz" (repos) inside the "/var/www/html/" then there is no need to keep the "tar.gz" file in that place (although it won't cause any harm) .

But you will need to make sure that the untar contents are present inside the"/var/www/html/" . You can move / delete the "tar.gz" file if you need to cleanup some disk space. Or you can leave it as it is.

You can find a simple setup to configure HDP cluster using Local offline repo here whihc might give you a good idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHaVBoLwzwU
