If you are using some flavor of Enterprise Linux, eventually will get tired of downloading rpm packages from Here BTW, this is a really great page when you don't have access to FTP services (damn telecom/security guys). And eventually, you will need to have repositories on your server to solve the dependencies. Here are some free repositories provided by Oracle for FREE, but of course, with NO SUPPORT.
OEL 4/RHEL 4, Update 6 or Newer# cd /etc/yum.repos.d # wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el4.repo
OEL 5/RHEL 5# cd /etc/yum.repos.d # wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo
OEL 6/RHEL 6# cd /etc/yum.repos.d # wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
Oracle VM 2# cd /etc/yum.repos.d # wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ovm2.repo
After downloading the repo file, you should set the correct version of your Linux, enabling the "enabled" variable.
[root@openstack yum.repos.d]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-ol6.repo
[ol6_latest]
name=Oracle Linux $releasever Latest ($basearch)
baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/$basearch/
gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
And of course, the EPEL repositories. Surf looking for your correct version here EPEL Repository and install the rpm, like this one:
[root@openstack yum.repos.d]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago) [root@openstack ~]# rpm -Uvh http://fedora.mirror.nexicom.net/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm Retrieving http://fedora.mirror.nexicom.net/epel//6/x86_64/epel-release-6-7.noarch.rpm warning: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.h0G5aN: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 0608b895: NOKEY Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:epel-release ########################################### [100%] [root@openstack ~]# ll /etc/yum.repos.d/ total 8 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 957 May 9 10:55 epel.repo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 1056 May 9 10:55 epel-testing.repo
