2. Setting Up the Ambari Repository

Stop Ambari Server. On the Server host:
```
ambari-server stop
```
Stop Ambari Agents. On each host:
```
ambari-agent stop
```

Upgrade the Ambari repository on all hosts and replace the old repo file with the new file:

	Important
	Check your current directory before you download the new repo file to make sure that there are no previous versions of the file. If you do not, and a previous version exists, the new download will be saved with a numeric extension such as `ambari.repo.1`. Make sure that the version you copy is the new version.

For RHEL/CentOS 5

wget http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos5/1.x/updates/1.2.4.9/ambari.repo
cp ambari.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/ambari.repo

For RHEL/CentOS 6

wget http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/1.x/updates/1.2.4.9/ambari.repo
cp ambari.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/ambari.repo

For SLES 11

wget http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/suse11/1.x/updates/1.2.4.9/ambari.repo

Note

If your cluster does not have access to the Internet, you need to set up a local repository with this data before you continue. See Configure the Local Repositories for more information. If you need tarballs to set your local repository up, they can be found here:
