Standalone Server Setup

Setting up a standalone Ambari Server instance is very similar to setting up an operational Ambari Server. Many of the steps are the same, with one key exception: you do not install a cluster with a standalone Ambari Server. A standalone Ambari Server does not manage a cluster and does not deploy or communicate with Ambari Agents. The standalone Ambari Server runs as web server instance, serving views for users.

Refer to the Ambari Install Guide for the details steps for setting up an Ambari Server. For a standalone Ambari Server instance, you are not required to install a cluster.
