RHEL6 to obtain the installation package (RPM) without Installation

Sometimes we can only get the RPM installation package online on a machine. to install the RPM package on an intranet machine that cannot access the Internet, we need to download the installation package to the local machine without installation, then copy the packages to the Intranet machine for installation. Another method is to create an image server without testing! The following example illustrates how to install saltstack (salt-master and salt-minion.

 

1) First, set the yum source on the machine that can connect to the Internet. I have set several yum sources for RHEL6.4, as shown below:

 

[rhel6_4-default]name     = "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 (Santiago)"baseurl  = ftp://192.168.122.100/pub/rhel64enabled  = 1gpgcheck = 1gpgkey   = ftp://192.168.122.100/pub/rhel64/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release[cloudera-cdh5]# Packages for Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop, Version 5, on RedHat or CentOS 6 x86_64name     = Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop, Version 5enabled  = 1gpgcheck = 1baseurl  = ftp://192.168.122.100/pub/cloudera/cdh/5/gpgkey   = ftp://192.168.122.100/pub/cloudera/cdh/RPM-GPG-KEY-cloudera[cloudera-gplextras5]# Packages for Cloudera's GPLExtras, Version 5, on RedHat or CentOS 6 x86_64name     = Cloudera's GPLExtras, Version 5enabled  = 1gpgcheck = 1baseurl  = ftp://192.168.122.100/pub/cloudera/gplextras/5/gpgkey   = ftp://192.168.122.100/pub/cloudera/gplextras/RPM-GPG-KEY-cloudera[epel-6]name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6# http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm#baseurl=http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/epel/6/x86_64failovermethod=priorityenabled=1gpgcheck=1gpgkey=http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6

 

 

* Installing rpmforge *** this step is important, with no python-jinja2 on the epel source of redhat 6 and centos 6. # wget -- no-check-certificate http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/x86_64/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm # rpm-Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

 

All right, the source is ready. Start installing plug-in yum-plugin-downloadonly.noarch. 1.30-14. el6:

 

# yum install yum-downloadonly

 

 

# mkdir /root/Downloads/salt-minion# mkdir /root/Downloads/salt-master# mkdir /root/Downloads/salt-api# yum install -y --downloadonly --downloaddir=/root/Downloads/salt-minion salt-minion# yum install -y --downloadonly --downloaddir=/root/Downloads/salt-master salt-master# yum install -y --downloadonly --downloaddir=/root/Downloads/salt-api salt-api        #### rest api of salt

 

2) copy the rpm under/root/Downloads/salt-minion to another machine, and then install:

 

# scp -r /root/Downloads/salt-minion root@anotherIP:~/# ssh root@anotherIP# cd ~/salt-minion# rpm -ivh *.rpm############################################### service salt-minion start#### service salt-master start #### service salt-api start
