B - You had likely missed the ‘apt-get update’ after putting the file in place. Note that the current packages are for Ubuntu12 not Ubuntu 14, so it’s not guaranteed to work.

Please make sure the sources list is in the appropriate place (ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ambari.list) 2. The content of that file matches the content of http://public-repo–1.hortonworks.com/ambari/ubuntu12/1.x/updates/1.7.0/ambari.list (cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ambari.list) 3. You’ve updated the apt-sources list: sudo apt-get update If after confirming all of that, there would have to be something wrong with your Ubuntu dpkg/apt database. -- Hortonworks - We do Hadoop Sean Roberts Partner Solutions Engineer - EMEA @seano From: Adaryl Bob Wakefield, MBA mailto:[email protected] Reply: [email protected] mailto:[email protected] Date: February 15, 2015 at 10:49:51 To: [email protected] mailto:[email protected] Subject: unable to locate package ambari-server I’m following the directions put out with the Hortonworks data platform. I’m following the directions to the letter and yet when I run: apt-get install ambari-server I get: unable to locate package ambari-server I’m dead stopped here and not sure what to do. An apt-cache pkgnames shows that there are no Ambari packages in the list. B.
