I have couple of questions, please clarify my doubt on it.
1. In Bitcoin core we used to call bitcoin-cli getwalletinfo through command line, and through json rpc curl request curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "getwalletinfo", "params": [] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/. Do we have same thing in Armory, if let me know some example of it.

With armoryd, all calls assume the context that a current wallet is selected. To get data from other wallets, you need to select the relevant one. The first wallet armoryd loads is set as the default one.

There's a somewhat large armoryd example you can find here:

https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/blob/master/webshop/server.py

Unfortunately I don't know how much of it still works, as it was written in 2014.

2. Can we have armory.conf file just like bitcoin.conf to have json rpc username and password in .armory/ folder

It would be armoryd.conf

Yeah that's not gonna work because the client randomizes the DB port when it automates it. Just run ArmoryDB on its own then armoryd.

Below are the steps executed for installing Armory, let me know if any issue in these steps.
1. Clone the repository from https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory and checkout into v0.96.4, after this did rest of the steps as per the documentation https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/blob/master/linuxbuild/Linux_build_notes.md
2. Clone the repository from https://github.com/goatpig/armoryd
3. Copied the armoryd.py and txjsonrpc from armoryd folder into BitcoinArmory folder
4. Executed the python ArmoryQt.py command and this opens the Armory wallet GUI and node will started to sync
5. Try to execute the python armoryd.py to start the armoryd rpc inside the BitcoinArmory , but this is giving below error

Is there a file named .cookie_ in your Armory datadir (where the wallets and .conf are)? If so, delete it.

When you invoked ArmoryDB, did you set fcgi-port to 9001? (I know listen-port is in the doc I referenced. That's for Armory 0.97.)

1) Make sure you are using the right version of Armory. armoryd as found in the repo (https://github.com/goatpig/armoryd) is meant to be paired with Armory as found in the master branch of the BitcoinArmory repo (https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory)

2) Start your Bitcoin node.

3) Start ArmoryDB. This is the blockchain processing service that interfaces between the Bitcoin network (your node) and clients (ArmoryQt/armoryd). ArmoryQt automates the node and db for you, but armoryd does not, as it expects you are savvy enough to manage the software stack yourself.

4) At this point you should be able to run armoryd (python armoryd.py)

Yes, we are using the latest version v0.96, as per the documentation mentioned.

Do you mean 0.96 or 0.96.4? I ask because there are still people getting Armory from an old web site that has 0.96 as the latest version. Nobody should be running 0.96.
