Installing packages from yum repositories¶
yum section allows you to install or remove packages using yum
package manager.
Note :
Make sure that your system is registered with subscription manager before trying to install packages otherwise you’ll get an error while following the steps below.
Step 1:
Create an empty file and give it any arbitrary name. For the purpose of this
demonstration, let’s call our file install_packages.conf
. Add the following
lines to your newly created config file:
# To install package(s):
# Make sure you have the appropriate values in all the placeholders shown in this configuration file.
# These values are just for demonstration purposes.
[yum]
action=install
repos=<reponames>
packages=vi,glusterfs
gpgcheck=no
update=no
# Explanation of the above parameters
# packages
# --------
# This takes a comma separate list of values that are packages names you
# wish to install.
# gpgcheck
# --------
# gpgcheck is set to `yes` by default. You can override it
# by setting it to `no` as illustrated above.
# update
# -------
# By default, gdeploy runs `yum update` before installation. To disable
# this behaviour, set update=no as shown above. The default value is `yes`.
# To remove package(s):
# [yum]
# action=remove
# packages=vi
Step 2:
As always, to invoke gdeploy run the following command:
$ gdeploy -c install_packages.conf
