Where did you get that installer script?
A bunch of the packages it's trying to install don't exist in stretch, so you should probably go bug whoever you got it from.
I see only packages for Redhat / Centos on the nagios site...

It means that the Nagios XI can be installed only in Redhat / Centos? Is there is a possibility to install it in Debian? if yes, how? please can you guide me on this.

because I just followed this step https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... -Linux.pdf, I thought it's applicable in Debian.

It means that it's only supported on Redhat. If you try installing it on anything else you're on your own.
The installer states: "IMPORTANT: This script should only be used on a 'clean' install of CentOS or RedHat". I certainly wouldn't try it on a system I care about.

If you do want to try breaking your system by installing this thing, you won't be able to use that installer script as it is.
Try changing the package names on line 38 of 1-prereqs to ones that are actually in Stretch, anything php has gone from 'php5' to just 'php' for a start. No guarantees that the thing will actually work though, even if you do get it installed.
Looks like this script might have been set up to work on Jessie, maybe. Proprietary crap is always out of date.
