Linux - yum command (Yellowdog Updater Modified)

The Oracle public yum server offers a free and convenient way to install packages from the Enterprise Linux and Oracle VM installation media via a yum client.


Download and copy the appropriate yum configuration file in place:

Open the yum configuration file in a text editor
Locate the section in the file for the repository you plan to update from, e.g. [el5_u3_base]
Change with vi enabled=0 to enabled=1

 [root@oel11g yum.repos.d]# vi public-yum-el5.repo

Now you can install the package by

typing the following form the root:

yum install <package name>
