Step 1: Configure a Repository for Cloudera Manager

How to configure a package repository to install Cloudera Manager.

Cloudera Manager is installed using package management tools such as yum for RHEL compatible systems. These tools depend on access to repositories to install software. Cloudera maintains Internet-accessible repositories for Runtime and Cloudera Manager installation files.

You can also create your own internal repository for hosts that do not have Internet access. For more information on creating an internal repository for Cloudera Manager, see Configuring a Local Package Repository.

To use the Cloudera repository:

1. Download the repository file for your operating system and version on the Cloudera Manager server host:

   RHEL / CentOS

   https://[username]:[password]@archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7-scale/7.2.3/redhat7/yum/cloudera-manager.repo

   For example:

   sudo wget https://[username]:[password]@archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7-scale/7.2.3/redhat7/yum/cloudera-manager.repo

   Move the cloudera-manager.repo file to the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

2. Edit the repository file and add your username and password:

   RHEL / CentOS

   Open the /etc/yum.repos.d/cloudera-manager.repo file in a text editor. The file will look like this:

   [cloudera-manager]
   name=Cloudera Manager 7.2.3
   baseurl=https://archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7/7.2.3/redhat7/yum/
   gpgkey=https://archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7/7.2.3/redhat7/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-cloudera
   username=changeme
   password=changeme
   gpgcheck=1
   enabled=1
   autorefresh=0
   type=rpm-md
   

   Replace the two changeme placeholders with your username and password.

3. Import the repository signing GPG key:
   • RHEL 7 compatible:

     sudo rpm --import https://[username]:[password]@archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7/7.2.3/redhat7/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-cloudera
