Build and install Ambari 1.5.0

Step 1: Download and build Ambari 1.5.0 source:

wget http://www.apache.org/dist/ambari/ambari-1.5.0/ambari-1.5.0.tar.gz
tar xfvz ambari-1.5.0.tar.gz
cd ambari-1.5.0
mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=1.5.0
mvn -B clean install package rpm:rpm -DskipTests -Dpython.ver="python >= 2.6"

Note: You need to have tools such as rpm-build tool, brunch, etc.  For details on prerequisites, please see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AMBARI/Coding+Guidelines+for+Ambari

Step 2: Install Ambari Server:

Install the rpm package from ambari-server/target/rpm/ambari-server/RPMS/noarch/

[For CentOS 5 or 6]

yum install ambari-server*.rpm    #This should also pull in postgres packages as well.

[For SLES 11]

zypper install ambari-server*.rpm    #This should also pull in postgres packages as well.

Step 3: Setup and Start Ambari Server:

Run the setup command to configure your Ambari Server, Database, JDK, LDAP, and other options.

ambari-server setup

Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed.

Once set up is done, start Ambari Server:

ambari-server start

Step 4: BootStrap the Agents using the UI  and begin the deploy/start process.

Go to the web server UI at:

$AMBARI_SERVER:8080/

Login using: Username *admin* and password *admin*

The step below are only required if the ambari agent is being bootstrapped manually.

Step 5: Install the ambari agent

The following command needs to be on all ambari agent hosts.

#] Get the rpm package from ambari-agent/target/rpm/ambari-agent/RPMS/x86_64/

[For CentOS 5 or 6]

yum install ambari-agent*.rpm

[For SLES 11]

zypper install ambari-agent*.rpm

Step 6: Configure the ambari-agent

vim /etc/ambari-agent/ambari.ini

[server]

hostname=localhost

Make sure the above hostname points to the actual ambari server.

Step 7: Start the ambari-agent

#]  ambari-agent start

Note: You would need to download the HDP repo to the hosts before proceeding with the installation
