Running the Cloudera Manager Cluster Installer on RHEL6; I'm getting an
installation failure stating - is an invalid option


*validating format of repository file
/tmp/scm_prepare_node.WLKchwjq/repos/rhel6/cdh-solr.repo *
*installing repository file
/tmp/scm_prepare_node.WLKchwjq/repos/rhel6/cdh-solr.repo *
*install: invalid option -- '-' *
*usage: install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] *
*[-o owner] file1 file2 *
*install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] *



Looking at the /tmp/scm_prepare_node/ sh file (nothing really seems to be
wrong there)

      * echo installing repository file $repo*
* $SUDO install -m 644 --backup=numbered "$repo" "$REPO_DEST"/*
* fail_or_continue $? repository file $repo could not be installed*


And Running that /tmp sh file manually from the command line, It does
successfully get past that line.

    Can you run 'install --help' and 'which install' and 'rpm -qf $(which
    install)' and 'lsb_release -a' for us? Looks like you've got a bizarre
    version of install. We'd like to figure out what's going on there.

    On my CentOS 6.4 machine, I see:

    $lsb_release -a
    LSB Version:
    :base-4.0-amd64:base-4.0-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-noarch
    Distributor ID: CentOS
    Description: CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
    Release: 6.4
    Codename: Final

    $install --version

    $rpm -qf $(which install)

    Thx Philip, Yup from the command line 'which install': /usr/bin/install.
      And the remainder were roughly the same as yours. However, then went and
    searched my $PATH. And I did have an older version of install located in
    /usr/local/bin, which apparently doesn't support --backup option.

    I temporarily deleted that file; And now I have successfully installed.
