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.

rpm -ivh file.rpm
is the command for you. The benefit of yum is that it will resolve dependencies for you and also install dependencies along with the concerned application. But you need to define the path of software resources in /etc/yum.repos.d in a .repo file
3If you use that command, you will see the RPMDB altered outside of yum
warning next time you run a yum
command. This can be resolved using yum history sync
, but is best avoided by not using rpm
and using the yum install
command, as in the answer above, instead. – Dmitri – 2018-08-13T20:54:25.653
This has the benefit that if the package requires extra dependencies, they will be found, downloaded, and installed; while a plain
rpm
will just complain that the dependencies are missing. You can set up local repos (e.g. from the installation DVD) if you don't have 'net access. – vonbrand – 2013-03-01T02:51:20.063
