I am trying to install sshpass on centos, as I want to install MapR on our systems.

I am following guidelines given here: http://doc.mapr.com/display/MapR/Quick+Installation+Guide

I get following issue:

sudo yum install sshpass
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: centos.excellmedia.net
 * extras: centos.excellmedia.net
 * updates: centos.excellmedia.net
Setting up Install Process
No package sshpass available.
Error: Nothing to do

If somebody can help me to understand where to get sshpass from it will be great.

Thanks in advance

The package that contains the openssh server on CentOS as far as I know is not called sshpass but openssh-server so run

 yum install openssh-server

The better way would be to setup the ssh keys for passwordless login. Setup the private and public keys and copy them over to the other nodes. See this tutorial SSH Passwordless Login Using SSH Keygen in 5 Easy Steps

BTW sshpass is available in epel repos by that name itself. You should probably add the epel repo to your yum configuration.

[root@rh-1 ~]# yum whatprovides */sshpass

Don't find sshpass package in default Centos repositories. You must be installed epel-release repository then install sshpass package. For installing epel-release on your centos run below command.

yum install epel-release
