You must have at least core Hadoop on your system. See Configuring the Remote Repositories for more information.

Verify the HDP repositories are available:

yum list sqoop

The output should list at least one Sqoop package similar to the following:

sqoop.noarch <version>

If yum responds with "Error: No matching package to list" as shown below, yum cannot locate a matching RPM. This can happen if the repository hosting the HDP RPMs is unavailable, or has been disabled. Follow the instructions at Configuring the Remote Repositories to configure either a public or private repository before proceeding.

Error: No matching package to list.
