How to install yum in linux

 

If you use YUM to install software, you don't need to look for the dependency RPM everywhere. Very convenient.

 

Step 1: Install yum

 

Step 2: download and install the createrepo package:

 

Ftp: // 195.220.108.108/linux/dag/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/RPMS/createrepo-0.4.6-1.el4.rf.noarch.rpm

 

Installing the createrepo package rpm-ivh createrepo-0.4.6-1.el4.rf.noarch.rpm

 

When software preparation is complete, the following describes how to create a repo file.

 

Step 3: mount the downloaded RHEL4.6-i386-AS-DVD.iso to local and complete the yum local source configuration

 

[Root @ Lovehack mnt] # mkdir/mnt/RHELAS4 // create a RHELAS4 file to mount ISO

 

[Root @ Lovehack mnt] # mount-o loop RHEL4.6-i386-AS-DVD.iso/mnt/RHELAS4 // mount iso

 

[Root @ Lovehack mnt] # mkdir/mnt/repodata // create a repodata folder

 

[Root @ Lovehack mnt] # ln-s/mnt/RHELAS4/RedHat/RPMS/*. rpm/mnt/repodata // link all the rpm Images

 

[Root @ Lovehack mnt] # createrepo/mnt/repodata // create repomd. xml and other required files. This process is relatively long.

Saving Primary metadata

Saving file lists metadata

Saving other metadata

 

[Root @ Lovehack mnt] # cd/etc/yum. repos. d // enter the yum folder to create a repo file and back up the original. repo File

 

[Root @ Lovehack yum. repos. d] # ls

 

As4-base.repo.bak as4-update.repo.bak backup CentOS-Base.repo.bak

 

[Root @ Lovehack yum. repos. d] # vi iso. repo // create an iso. repo file with the following content:

 

[Iso]

Name = iso

Baseurl = file: // mnt/repodata

Enabled = 1

Gpgcheck = 1

Gpgkey = file: // mnt/RHELAS4/RPM-GPG-KEY

 

Step 4: [root @ Lovehack yum. repos. d] # yum update
