Yum Download only does not install

Typically, you use Yum to install a dependency package relationship, and if one server is unable to connect to the extranet or the Yum source is not set up, you want to download the RPM packages from another server and then install them. So how do you use the Yum tool to download RPM packages?

Using Yum

To use the--DOWNLOADONLY option, you will need to install yum-plugin-downloadonly, without installing the package, and report the following error message: Command line error:no such option:-- Downloadonly

1	# yum Install Yum-plugin-downloadonly

Then use the command below to download the package

1	# yum Install--downloadonly Rpm_name

The downloaded file is located in the/var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/directory and depends on the system version.

You can also specify the downloaded directory as follows:

1	# yum Install--downloadonly--downloaddir=/ttlsa rpm_name

At the same time, the dependent packages will be downloaded down.

Using Yumdownloader

You need to install Yum-utils first.

1	# yum Install Yum-utils

Download package

1	# Yumdownloader Rpm_name

The downloaded package is located in the current directory. However, only the specified packages are downloaded, and the packages that are dependent on the package are not downloaded.
