3. Configure the Remote Repositories

The standard HDP install fetches the software from a remote yum repository over the Internet. To use this option, you must set up access to the remote repository and have an available Internet connection for each of your hosts.

	Note
	If your cluster does not have access to the Internet, or you are creating a large cluster and you want to conserve bandwidth, you can instead provide a local copy of the HDP repository that your hosts can access. For more information, see Deployment Strategies for Data Centers with Firewalls, a separate document in this set.

Download the yum repo configuration file hdp.repo. On your local mirror server, execute the following command:

For RHEL/CentOS 5:

wget -nv http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/centos5/2.x/updates/2.0.6.0/hdp.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/hdp.repo

For RHEL/CentOS 6:

wget -nv http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/centos6/2.x/updates/2.0.6.0/hdp.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/hdp.repo

For SLES:

wget -nv http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/suse11/2.x/updates/2.0.6.0/hdp.repo -O /etc/zypp.repos.d/hdp.repo

For Ubuntu:

wget http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/ubuntu12/2.x/hdp.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hdp.list

For Ubuntu hosts, add the gpg keys as the root user:

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys B9733A7A07513CAD
gpg -a --export 07513CAD | apt-key add -

Confirm the HDP repository is configured.

For RHEL/CentOS/Oracle Linux:

yum repolist

You should see something like this. Verify that you have HDP-2.0.6.0 directory:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
