Make sure you check if your ambari package is downloaded successfully with below commands

apt-cache showpkg ambari-server

apt-cache showpkg ambari-agent

apt-cache showpkg ambari-metrics-assembly

You can refer to the installation guide here - http://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.1.2.0/bk_Installing_HDP_AMB/content/_download_the_...

Hi Durai,

I am getting the same message as Unable to locate the packages.

When i check the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

I see ambari and hdp are registered in sources.list.d

But when i dpkg -L ambari* i am not able to find the packages.

Whereas i had wget -nv http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/ubuntu14/2.x/updates/2.2.1.0/ambari.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ambari.list

apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com B9733A7A07513CAD

apt-get update

Please Guide me.
