As you are getting the following error :

http://dev2.hortonworks.com.s3.amazonaws.com/repo/dev/master/utils/repodata/repo md.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 403 Forb idden" Trying other mirror. 

You should set the "enabled=0" (this will disable the sandbox.repo) which has issue. As that is just development repo and might not be available always.

# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/sandbox.repo
[sandbox]
baseurl=http://dev2.hortonworks.com.s3.amazonaws.com/repo/dev/master/utils/
name=Sandbox repository (tutorials)
gpgcheck=0
enabled=0

.

After making the above change please do a yum clean all as following and then everything should be fine.

# yum clean all

.

Hi Raja,

I am getting this error while trying to setup RStudio . I am using the following tutorial.

https://community.hortonworks.com/content/kbentry/69424/setting-up-rstudio-on-hortonworks-docker-san...

In particular, while trying to install Rstudio in the first step. Later I found that I get the same error for all yum commands.

try mv /etc/yum.repos.d/sandbox.repo /tmp

do your yum install and move the sandbox.repo back to /etc/yum.repos.d
