Installation of packages through RPM or YUM

By Anuj Kumar Teotia

To install packages
[root@server ~]#rpm -i samba* vsftpd*
[root@server ~]#rpm -iv samba* vsftpd*
[root@server ~]#rpm -ivh samba* --force
[root@server ~]#rpm -ivh samba* --aid

To remove the packages


[root@server ~]#rpm -e vsftpd
[root@server ~]#rpm -e samba --nodeps

To query the packages


[root@server ~]#rpm -qa
[root@server ~]#rpm -qa | sort | less
[root@server ~]#rpm -q samba
[root@server ~]#rpm -qa samba*
[root@server ~]#rpm -qi samba
[root@server ~]#rpm -ql samba
[root@server ~]#rpm -qd samba
[root@server ~]#rpm -qc samba
[root@server ~]#rpm -qs samba

YUM SERVER
Yum server is used to solve problem of dependencies.

There are 3 steps to configure yum server


1) copy the packages
2) create repository (database)
3) create a file for yum so that yum can search repository location

Step 1)
[root@server ~]#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
[root@server ~]#cd /mnt
[root@server ~]#ls -l
NOTE: all rpm store in four directories (1. server 2.Cluster 3.ClusterStorage 4.VT)
[root@server ~]#cd Server
[root@server Server]#ls
[root@server Server]#rpm -ivh vsftpd-2.0.5-10.el5.i386.rpm
[root@server Server]#cp -rvf /mnt/* /var/ftp/pub

Step 2)
[root@server ~]#cd /var/ftp/pub
[root@server ~]#ll

[root@server ~]#cd Server


[root@server Server]#ll
[root@server Server]#rpm -ivh createrepo-0.4.4-2.fc6.noarch.rpm
[root@server Server]#cp repodata/comps-rhel5-server-core.xml .
[root@server Server]#createrepo -vg comps-rhel5-server-core.xml .

Step 3)
[root@server Server]#vim /etc/yum.repos.d/server.repo
[server]
name=server
baseurl=file:///var/ftp/pub/Server
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release

:wq

[root@server Server]#service vsftpd start


[root@server Server]#chkconfig vsftpd on

Client side configurattion


[root@client ~]#vim /etc/yum.repos.d/client.repo
[server]
name=server
baseurl=ftp://server ip/pub/Server
gpgcheck=0

:wq

Installing through yum

[root@client ~]#yum list


[root@client ~]#yum list installed
[root@client ~]#yum list installed samba*
[root@client ~]#yum install samba* vsftpd*
[root@client ~]#yum remove samba* vsftpd
[root@client ~]#yum grouplist
[root@client ~]#yum groupinstall Mail Server
[root@client ~]#yum groupremove Mail Server
[root@client ~]#cd /media/cdrom/Server
[root@client Server]#yum localinstall vsftpd*
