Step 1: Configure a Repository for 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:

RHEL compatible

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/cm7/7.1.2/redhat7/yum/cloudera-manager.repo
For example:
```
sudo wget https://[username]:[password]@archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7/7.1.2/redhat7/yum/cloudera-manager.repo
```
Move the cloudera-manager.repo file to the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

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 7.1.2
baseurl=https://archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7/7.1.2/redhat7/yum/
gpgkey=https://archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7/7.1.2/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.

Import the repository signing GPG key:

RHEL 7 compatible:

sudo rpm --import https://[username]:[password]@archive.cloudera.com/p/cm7/7.1.2/redhat7/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY-cloudera
