@anand maurya It's best to use the binaries from the repo. Install Ambari first following the steps in the below link: https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.4.2.0/bk_ambari-installation/content/ch_Installing_Ambari.html Once the Ambari Server is up, use it to download and install the HDP binaries as shown in the following link: https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.4.2.0/bk_ambari-installation/content/ch_Deploy_and_Configure_a_HDP_Cluster.html ...

Definitely not advisable nor worth considering. It also would not be supported by Hortonworks support license. The minimum cluster size for a production environment is typically seen as 3 management nodes that hold master services like namenode, zookeepers, etc + 4 data nodes that hold data in hdfs and also slave services. The sandbox is a single node with everything, great for installing quickly, learning skills and perhaps doing simple demos ... but not production high availability, throughput, processing etc See this post for a discussion of minimal deployment: https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/48572/physical-layout-of-architecture.html ...
