Solution 1

Try to run this first:

yum update

Say yes to all updates, later run:

rpm -Uvh http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/centos6/1.x/GA/ambari-1.x-1.el6.noarch.rpm

And:

yum install pdsh

If this commands retrieve errors, copy from terminal and paste here

Solution 2

For those whom are not using Hadoop, but looking for just pdsh, it can be obtained in the Fedora EPEL. The repository can be enabled on CentOS / RHEL 6 by running...

wget http://mirrors.mit.edu/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
yum install pdsh

Personally, the EPEL is the one of the few trusted repos I'll venture out to for a CentOS / Redhat Enterprise Linux server. I've also shortened the link for you if you have to manually type it in the console of the VM.

wget http://goo.gl/2GWMof

I'm following a tutorial on how to configure a centos machine to be a node in a hadoop cluster for HortonWorks. I'm doing this on a virtual machine on VirtualBox.

Sadly, since I am a linux beginner, I am stuck on some very basic steps:
```
 2.4. Software Requirements

On each of your hosts:

yum

rpm

scp

curl

wget

pdsh
```
I know that all of the above are installed because when I type them in the terminal, something is returned besides bad command or file name.

However, when i type pdsh, I am getting the bad command...

I've googled dozens of websites, and there's no clear direction on how to install pdsh?

  If you truly just need pdsh, you can "yum install pdsh". You can also run "rpm -qa | grep pdsh" to see if it's on your system and once it is, what version it is.

For the copy and paste from host system to VM guest's I recommend to use putty (if you use windows) directly to the server, is more easy.
