[Solved] Cannot install git on RHEL 6
Hi,

I am trying to install git on RHEL 6. From the research I have done I should be able to just say:

Code:
sudo yum install git

but it is not working (it says no package git is available). I am fairly new to linux and cannot figure this out.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

do sudo yum list available | grep -i git
then see if it shows up, if not then your repository does not contain it. Note: you can add sites to your list of repositories.
You can also download git rpm and install from command line

Thanks for the advice. I don't see git in the list from yum, so I went to find the rpm and install it. I don't know how to install an rpm from the command line, so I tried downloading the file and double clicking to open the installer.

When I do this for git-1.7.9.6-1.el6.rfx.i686.rpm, I receive an error:
Code:
git-1.7.9.6-1.el6.rfx.i686 requires perl(Git)
git-1.7.9.6-1.el6.rfx.i686 requires perl-Git = 1.7.9.6-1.el6.rfx

So I tried to download/install perl-Git-1.7.9.6-1.el6.rfx.i686, which gives me this error:

Code:
perl-Git-1.7.9.6-1.el6.rfx.i686 requires git = 1.7.9.6-1.el6.rfx

it looks like a circular dependency? How can I get around it?

You shouldn't install random RPM's you find on the internet, they're almost certainly not for your system.

RHEL6 is supposed to come with git. Did that command suggested list anything at all?

There were many entries (too many to list all), but no plain old git.

I tried instlling git-annex.i686, but receive a message that it requires git

Not sure if this is a company system or not. If not, you could add the RPMFusion respository and git should be available from there, along with tons of other packages.

RPM Fusion - RPM Fusion

If it's a company system, then you may want to check to see if there is an internal Satellite system that your box can be registered with to install additional software.

Hi,

It is a company laptop, but I have a lot of freedom. I added the RPM Fusion repositories, and ensured they were enabled in yum. However, the result is the same as before when I try to install or get a list of available packages with "git".

---------- Post updated at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:11 PM ----------

Finally figured it out. I enabled the rhel-6-desktop-optional-rpms repository.

Thanks for the help.
