Hello @jzhang,

This problem used be there with old HDP 2.5 Sandbox image. Can you please verify the MD5 checksum of the HDP 2.5 sandbox images that you are using for this page? For example, for virtualbox image file (the .ova file) of HDP 2.5 sandbox, the MD5 sum should be :

MD5 : d42a9bd11f29775cc5b804ce82a72efd

Please confirm this. If checksums are not matching, then download the correct image from above link.

Hope this helps.
