9. Manually Installing Software

Use repositories and the standard yum commands to install new software, unless the software is only available as a package. In these cases, use the localinstall function to install the software from the package file. The localinstall function does not connect to any repository.

[Important]Public Key is Required

You must ensure that the public key for the package source has been imported before installing a package without a repository. Refer to Section 7.2, “Manually Authorizing Package Sources”.

Enter this command to install the package tsclient-0.132-4.i386.rpm:

su -c 'yum localinstall tsclient-0.132-4.i386.rpm'

At the prompt, enter the root password.

[Important]Meeting Dependencies

You must ensure that all of the dependencies are already installed on your system, because yum cannot download additional packages to complete the installation when performing a localinstall operation.
