  • How do I use yum to download a package withoout installing it?

Resolution

Yumdownloader

if downloading a installed package, “yumdownloader” is useful.

1. Install the yum-utils package:

1
# yum install yum-utils

2. Run the command followed by the desired package:

1
# yumdownloader <package>

Note:

  • The package is saved in the current working directly by default; use the –destdir option to specify an alternate location.
  • Be sure to add –resolve if you need to download dependencies.
