Section has no headers for Mongo DB on CDH

[#1]

Hello!

I have a student attempting to install Mongo into Cloudera.  The following error messages are being received.  I am not a coder and am unsure how to assist.  I am learning the language as I go along!

Any ideas?

Thank you!

@DrJ Not an expert on MongoDb, but your hint is that the yum command-line package-management utility is telling you that something is wrong with the file it's using to assist in the installation.

Verify that you have a file at the location /etc/yum.repos.d/mongod-org-3.4.repo or whatever it's supposed to be using by using the file command, a la:

[[email protected] box]$ file /etc/yum.repos.d/mongod-org-3.4.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/mongod-org-3.4.repo: ASCII text
[[email protected] box]$ 

…and once you've verified that it's present (is it supposed to be mongod-org-3.4.repo or mongodb-org-3.4.repo?), compare the first couple of lines in the file to a few other ones located in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory and check that you haven't inadvertently introduced spaces or something into the file.
