Use Yum to Find Package Info The history sub-commands: info/list/summary can take a transaction ID or package name as an argument. Additionally, the list sub-command can take a special argument, all meaning – all transactions.
I verified today that on RHEL 6.7, the files are stored in /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6Server/rhel-6-server-rpms/packages/ . Show activity on this post. Show activity on this post.
YUM can manage packages from installed repositories in the system or from . rpm packages. The main configuration file for YUM is at /etc/yum. conf , and all the repos are at /etc/yum.
The softwares are usually installed in bin folders, in /usr/bin, /home/user/bin and many other places, a nice starting point could be the find command to find the executable name, but it's usually not a single folder. The software could have components and dependencies in lib,bin and other folders.
yum uses RPM, so the following command will list the contents of the installed package:
$ rpm -ql package-name
Not in Linux at the moment, so can't double check, but I think it's:
rpm -ql ffmpeg
That should list all the files installed as part of the ffmpeg package.
I don't know about yum, but rpm -ql will list the files in a particular .rpm file. If you can find the package file on your system you should be good to go.
