Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users How to install .rpm file from a directory using yum? Post 302648043 by fpmurphy on Tuesday 29th of May 2012 09:01:05 AM

If you want yum to install rpms from a particular folder, you have to set up a local repository - say localrepo.

From memory, I have not tested this ....
Code:
# yum install createrepo
# createrepo /localrepo

Put your rpms in /localrepo and add localrepo entry to /etc/yum.repos.d/
Code:
[localrepo]
name=Local Repo
baseurl=file:///localrepo/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
