    Installation of ssh is not use specific. Install it using your primary user, the one you used to create cloudera. Then all users including cloudera will have access to ssh.

    SSH is installed globally, not "in" any user. So just install with your existing admin account.

    Read man sudoers, you must add cloudera to the sudo system.

  • How to add users to sshd is well documented here: askubuntu.com/questions/16650/…

  • Do you want the server so you can connect FROM another PC or only use the SSH client to connect TO another PC?

When you ran sudo adduser cloudera, you used sudo. I am going to refer to this as the primary user.

If you already have ssh installed

If you already have ssh installed, you shouldn't need to do anything. You should be able to ssh into it directly.

If you don't have ssh installed

Install it in the primary user with the command sudo apt-get install openssh-server. This will install it system-wide, enabling it for all users.

If you don't know whether you have ssh installed

Run dpkg -L openssh-server. If there is any output, you have it installed. Otherwise you don't.

  • Still not clear if the OP wants the server or only use the client...

In addition to the comments and answers already posted here is a clarification.

From whichever user you executed the command 

sudo useradd cloudera

that user obviously have super user privilege.

So, from the new user most probably you could use ssh, as it might be there already installed.

Else, you have three options:

(1) From the user which created "cloudera" install ssh using sudo

(2) Add "cloudera" to sudoers and proceed.

(3) Simply type su and provide the super user password. Then proceed to install ssh.
