FYI, I've extended (or shrinked - depends on the point of view) the excellent work done by Ali Bajwa in ambari-zeppelin-service project to create: https://github.com/tzolov/zeppelin-ambari-plugin
Github doc is selfexplanatory but here is a video to illustrate how it looks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFaoO5N79UY To install it on RedHad/CentOS you just need to add a public YUM repo and install the packages from there: sudo wget https://bintray.com/big-data/rpm/rpm -O /etc/yum.repos.d/bintray-big-data-rpm.repo sudo yum -y install zeppelin-ambari-plugin-phd30 (or sudo yum -y install zeppelin-ambari-plugin-hdp22 for HDP22) (or sudo yum -y install zeppelin-ambari-plugin-hdp23 for HDP23) sudo /etc/init.d/ambari-server restart This could be the fastest way to get you started with Zeppin on Hortonworks or PivotalHD. Note that during the installation you can specify a different Zeppelin tarball (perhaps the one you have build yourself) or Notebooks tarball. Let me know if there are candidates to test Debian package?
