I am installing mesosphere on ubuntu 16.04 xenial .zookeeper and mesos-master and mesos-slave are running fine ,while starting marathon I am getting this issue . Required option 'master' not found .I have created folder in /etc/marathon/conf .These are the steps I am following for marathon .
sudo mkdir -p /etc/marathon/conf
sudo cp /etc/mesos-master/hostname /etc/marathon/conf
sudo cp /etc/mesos/zk /etc/marathon/conf/master
sudo cp /etc/marathon/conf/master /etc/marathon/conf/zk
sudo nano /etc/marathon/conf/zk ,edit mesos to marathon in the end .
I am attaching the whole logs here,
