Fatal error: [localhost] /bin/sh: 1: rpm: not found

[sweetfisheric]

Hello,

I tried to follow this page http://prestodb.github.io/presto-admin/installation/presto-server-installation.html to install Presto sever, but I got the error 'Fatal error: [localhost] /bin/sh: 1: rpm: not found.' I tried to change the permission and different Presto rpm files but haven't had good luck. I am using Ubuntu 15.04 if that matters. Thank you.

Does your os have the rpm program installed?

[brian-rickman]

Default installations of Ubuntu do not have rpm. You should be able to get it by running "sudo apt-get install rpm"

Thank you. I was able to pass that after I installed Alien. I now got another error
'Deploying rpm on localhost...

Fatal error: [localhost] Needed to prompt for a connection or sudo password (host: localhost), but input would be ambiguous in parallel mode

Aborting.

My config.json file is

{
"username":"root",
"coordinator":"localhost",
"workers":[
"localhost"
],
"port":"22"
}

The primary advantage of presto-admin is that it makes it easy to operate on all the nodes of a cluster at once.

For a single node installation, I think you will be better off following the manual installation process outlined here:
https://prestodb.io/docs/current/installation/deployment.html

presto-admin connects to the hosts through ssh (even localhost). If you don't have passwordless ssh set up, you can run your commands with -I (that's an uppercase 'i') , and it will prompt you for a password. Alternatively you can pass in a password using -p.
For example:
sudo ./presto-admin -I server install /path/to/presto.rpm
sudo ./presto-admin -p my-not-so-secret-password server install /path/to/presto.rpm

@sweetfisheric did you get this figured out?

[rschlussel-zz]

Closing, as this seems to have been resolved.

@rschlussel This is still happening. When I execute the following command:

./presto-admin -p my-password server install ./presto-server-rpm-0.167-t.0.2.x86_64.rpm

I get:

Using rpm_specifier as a local path
Fetching local presto rpm at path: ./presto-server-rpm-0.167-t.0.2.x86_64.rpm
Found existing rpm at: ./presto-server-rpm-0.167-t.0.2.x86_64.rpm
Deploying rpm on localhost...

Fatal error: [localhost] Needed to prompt for a connection or sudo password 
    (host: localhost), but input would be ambiguous in parallel mode

I have all libraries installed like rpm, python 2.7, Java 8 and have followed all steps till here. My config.json is empty as this should make use of all default settings.

I am trying to deploy a single node Presto installation. Anything else I need to confirm?

Hi, @sbmaggarwal
Please try to use -I Option.

./presto-admin -I -p my-password server install ./presto-server-rpm-0.167-t.0.2.x86_64.rpm

[sbmaggarwal]

@yuokada I am not sure why this happens but when I run the above command, it deletes the presto-server-rpm-0.167-t.0.2.x86_64.rpm file from the directory and gives me the following error:

Initial value for env.password: <Here I enter my-password>
Using rpm_specifier as a local path
Fetching local presto rpm at path: ./presto-server-rpm-0.167-t.0.2.x86_64.rpm

Fatal error: [localhost] Unable to find or download presto rpm with specifier ./presto-server-rpm-0.167-t.0.2.x86_64.rpm

Aborting.

What can be the issue?

[mattsfuller]

What happens if you don't put the "./" on the argument? So simply enter:
./presto-admin -I -p my-password server install presto-server-rpm-0.167-t.0.2.x86_64.rpm

I'm assuming you have the rpm located in the current directory.

@sbmaggarwal which version do you use?

It's not reproduce on 2.3. (zsh 5.4.2 & presto-admin 2.3)
