Linux – Is it possible to use yum to install a RPM file in Red Hat Linux

Is it possible to use yum to install a RPM file in Red Hat Linux?

Since I don't have the Internet access from this Linux I can not do wget and follow the process.

So all that I have now is a rpm file. How do I install it?

Yes, it is possible to install a single - already downloaded file - via YUM

yum install RPM-FILENAME.rpm from the directory you have the package downloaded to.

Take a look under /var/cache/yum directory.

They should be there unless you have some kind of autocleanup going on. If you do, try this command:

find /var/cache/yum -iname '*.rpm' –

If there's nothing there, see the cachedir variable in /etc/yum.conf and check out what's the current directory for storing packages. It can also be that tmpwatch or some other daily cron cleanup has cleared the /var/cache/yum.

Have a look into adding the EPEL repository to your RHEL build. EPEL is Fedora packages built against RHEL http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL I have not used this repo to install wine but do currently have it installed in my Scientific Linux 6 RHEL clone.

If you are not familiar with install 3rd party repositories then you may want to have a peek at the centos documentation here: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

I also use Atrpms but that is probably overkill for your requirements.
