YUM can manage packages from installed repositories in the system or from. You can learn more about adding repositories to your system from this article on how to add a YUM repo from Amy Marrich. There are many options and commands available to use with YUM.
I've listed some commonly-used commands for YUM below:. The history option gives you an overview of what happened in past transactions. This provides some useful information, like the date when the transaction happened and what command was run. You can undo or redo certain transactions using the history command.
Here is an example of undoing a transaction:. YUM provides many options for package management. For detailed option information, look at man yum and yum —help. Also, here is a link to YUM documentation. Using RPM , you can install, uninstall, and query individual software packages. Still, it cannot manage dependency resolution like YUM. RPM does provide you useful output, including a list of required packages. An RPM package consists of an archive of files and metadata. Metadata includes helper scripts, file attributes, and information about packages.
RPM maintains a database of installed packages, which enables powerful and fast queries. RPM has some basic modes: query, verify, install, upgrade, erase, show querytags, show configuration. At least one of these modes needs to be selected to perform package management tasks. Alternately, you can use the yum package manager to install. The localinstall option instructions yum to look at your current working directory for the installation file.
Normally, yum looks to your enabled software repositories for new software packages to install. Unlike many Linux tools, DNF is not a set of initials. It is merely the next evolution of the yum package manager. The -e option instructs RPM to erase the software. Check RPM Dependencies. If there are any missing dependencies, you can install them from the standard repositories using yum or dnf.
If your software requires other non-standard software, it will often be noted in the installation instructions. One exciting feature of the yum package manager is that it allows you to download. This might be helpful if you have limited bandwidth, or want to copy a single downloaded file between systems. You can then install the file as above. Note : In Linux, administrators find it helpful to have a single tool to manage software. That tool — called a package manager — can install software, keep track of software requirements, and track updates and patches.
The easiest way to get packages is from the installation DVD. I get warning user does not exist - using root, Still at previous version.
This means the rpm expects a user that you do not have. Should be fixed by the rpm responsible, but usually these are warnings only as far as you are still at previous version it might be an error. I have installed Redhat linux package v6.
When i run command "rpm -qa grep redhat-release'. Can i edit some configuration file to update this? This is the name-version-release. It is was defined in the. How to upgrade rpm package? For example, packages for RHEL 7 Server Note: An active product subscription that includes entitlements to the package are required to view or download packages.
Installing or Upgrading There are two main options of rpm command that are used to install or upgrade RPM packages: -i is used to install a new package. This installs a new package. This install the package or upgrades the package currently installed to a newer version.
This is the same as install, except all other version s of the package are removed after the new package is installed. Examples: Note: These examples assume the packages are in a directory on your system. To install an RPM package, we use of the -i flag. As mentioned before, you use this flag when you are installing a kernel RPM.
In this case, you will want to leave your old kernel in place, at least temporarily, in case the new kernel does not boot. In this example, we first check to see the names of the new RPM packages with the ls command. Then we query the RPM database to see which kernel packages are already installed. Note the -v option will show verbose output and the -h will show the hash marks, which represents action of the progress of the RPM upgrade.
Lastly, we run another RPM query to verify the package will be available. EL kernel
