How to install yum-util for rhel 6.0
 

Hi,

I want to install yum-util for rhel 6.0.plz guide me as how to go for the same.I'm new to linux and in prelim learning stage.

regards,

Welcome to LQ.

yum search yum-utils

# yum install yum-utils

To add to what knudfl said, if you're not PAYING for RedHat enterprise, yum won't do you much good for installing things that aren't on the DVD already. If you're not paying for RHEL, you should go back and load CentOS instead, which is nearly identical, but free.

Thanks for ur replies. but plz tell me as where i'm going wrong in installation steps.
This is what i'm getting:


[root@localhost yum-utils-1.1.31]# yum install yum-util

1. 2.
implies that you do not have the DVD mounted at that location.
Have you seen https://code.google.com/p/iredmail/w...Yum_Repository, although if you have a GUI, you should be able to enable it there.
See also /etc/yum.repos.d.
Its possible the entry is 'disabled'


3. you can't 'yum' an rpm , only a complete package.

As you were asked before, you need to SPELL OUT YOUR WORDS, and quit using that text-speak junk.

Chrism01 answered your question. If you have the RPM, then use the rpm {rpm -i <filename>) command to install it. Check the page that Chris gave you it has instructions. And again, unless you're going to PAY for RHEL, don't use it.
