Hello friends,

I want to write script, In which i have to check dependency of application and download it from internet at the time of installation or by another way to check the dependency online.
for eg. mysql,mariadb,nano,netbeans etc.
Please suggest me how can I do that.

For those distros you mention, the package manager automatically installs dependencies.

yeah,you are ri8 my friend.
But I m doing minimal installation of red-hat. so sometimes I faced "xyz" library is not found , And I want to setup development environment. so its required different dependencies for different application or libraries.

You can usually find out on the application's website what dependencies are needed.

I got error while installing remmina, some dependencies were not found. and i want to install that application with auto dependencies.

for redhat it is very easy to check for dependencies
RHEL 7.1 is the current

a long time ago in a ... far away....

in RHEL5 there was introduced YUM!!!

CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL

so to check

Code:

su -
yum update 
---- or ------
yum install ProgramName
---- or ----
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
