Error creating template PredictionIO

Question

I've created a lot of templates before as by now I was creating the Recommendation following the suggested steps.

$ pio template get PredictionIO/template-scala-parallel-recommendation Foo

Getting this error:

[ERROR] [Template$] Either PredictionIO/template-scala-parallel-universal-recommendation is not a valid GitHub repository, or it does not have any tag. Aborting.

How I fix this and why is this happening?

EDIT:

My Prediction version 0.9.5. Using Ubuntu

This works for me with Prediction v 0.9.5. Which version are you using? — tuxdna, Nov 24 '15 at 17:49

It seems that happens when you have made a pio deploy of another template before pio template get, so you have to shutdown the eventserver default port 7070 as:

$ lsof -wni tcp:7070
$ kill -9 PID

This solved the problem.

I had this issue but this google group post had my solution. Basically pio template get is cloning a repository under the covers, so it can have git-related issues.

Check to see if you can access https://api.github.com/ from your web browser. If not, check the google group post.

Also there is no need to do pio template get, just clone it from github. The Universal Recommender is kept up-to-date in its home repo here: https://github.com/actionml/template-scala-parallel-universal-recommendation/tree/v0.3.0

Notice v0.3.0 is nearing release but is not in the template gallery yet.
