According to this issue https://github.com/tensorflow/models/issues/122, you get the error message when a file name is interpreted by the shell as two arguments.

So I would now check: Did you configured somewhere a path name containing a space? If you did so, try quoting the name.

Thank you @Harald Berghoff ! In fact, I'm trying to install ambari in ubuntu 16.04 ( https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.6.1.0/bk_ambari-installation/content/set_up_the_a.... So, I downloaded the ambari repository then I installed the Ambari server, and, when I try to set up the ambari server by launching ambari-server setup without options, I get this error.

Is this issue fixed, please let me know how did this is fixed.

You can try using the command

ambari-server setup -s -j <JAVA_HOME>

I don't see java_home in your setup.

Also there are chances that doing a sudo based setup solves your issue.

sudo ambari-server setup -s -j <JAVA_HOME>

this doesn't worked for me, still same issue.

According to the snippet you shared, you are trying to setup Ambari using the Derby database as your choice was (n)for Advanced configuration but you simply need to run the below command the -s or --silent  tells ambari to pick the defaults i.e derby database

# ambari-server setup -s

When Ambari is to connect to a non-default database, you must download and set up database connectors before you set up the Ambari Server and then run ambari-server setup.

Issues:

If you had run the setup successfully before  you might hit the below error 

Nothing was done. Ambari Setup already performed and cannot re-run setup in silent mode. Use "ambari-server setup" command without -s option to change Ambari setup.
