Use yum (or rpm if you have the package(s) at hand) to install packages after installing the OS.

yum-versionlock.conf
YUM-VERSIONLOCK.CONF(5) File Formats YUM-VERSIONLOCK.CONF(5)
NAME
yum-versionlock.conf(5)
SYNOPSIS
yum-versionlock.conf(5) is the configuration file for yum-versionlock(1) Yum plugin for excluding packages that aren't listed in the ver-
sionlock file. The plugin will walk each line of the versionlock file, parse out the name and version of the package. It will then exclude
any package by that name that doesn't match one of the versions listed within the file (or, optionally, any obsoleter of that package).
This is basically the same as doing an exclude for the package name itself (as you cannot exclude installed packages), but yum will still
see the versions you have installed/versionlocked as available so that "yum reinstall" will still work, etc. It can also work in the oppo-
site way, like a fast exclude, by prefixing a '!' character to the version.
FILES
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.conf
FILE FORMAT
yum-versionlock.conf(5) utilizes configuration options in the form of
OPTION=VALUE
OPTION
follow_obsoletes
This option is a boolean flag which specifies if the versionlock plugin should look at all the obsoletes, and see if any of the
packages specified have an obsoleter. If an obsoleter is found then all versions of that package will be excluded. This option is
off by default, as yum-versionlock(1) will take some time to do the obsoletes processing, and for non-rename obsoletes any issues
you had which kept you at a specific version of a package should be different with another package.
OPTION
locklist
This option is a string with points to the file which will have the versionlock information in it. Note that the file has to exist
(or the versionlock plugin will make yum exit). However it can be empty.
