to install SAP it is necessary to have your host in a network.

If you are installing on a stand alone machine then you will have to install a loop back adapter if you are installing on windows.

Also make below entry in the host file

127.0.0.1 <host-name>

Now ping 127.0.0.1 and see its giving proper response.

Hi,

It looks like the hostname is not being identified by the SAP Installer.

Could open a command prompt and check if 'hostname' returns a value?
