I can reproduce your problem… and have a lot of missing prereqs.

i checked this and found that it was downloaded in the mentioned directory but also failed.

Ok, but my point is, are you missing prereqs that you need to install first ?
In my case I can see which prereqs I am missing, and I assume you have similar prereq issues.

5

yes i have the same missing dependencies and need to install them but does it mean that i need to install these dependencies first before each deployment ?!

That is correct, they are required by the RC target package, and so the prereqs need to be installed first.
There are a number of ways to approach this, and depending on the end user community, network access, access to CentOS repos, etc. one way is to modify the action script at run time to use yum instead of rpm to install the package.
eg. developers might not want the additional packages installed, etc. and the endpoints would need to be able to access the CentOS package repositories directly.

I have modified line 40 as shown in my screen shot.
