How to make rpm auto install dependencies

People also ask

How do I automatically install dependencies?

If you want to install package along with its dependencies, it is recommended that you use dpkg tool with -f option. In that case, you can simply use -f option to automatically install dependencies of a package.

Can RPM install dependencies?

If the package depends on other packages that are not installed on the system, rpm will display a list of all missing dependencies. You will have to download and install all dependencies manually. If the package you are trying to update is not installed, the rpm -U command will install it.

Does yum install dependencies?

YUM is the primary package management tool for installing, updating, removing, and managing software packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. YUM performs dependency resolution when installing, updating, and removing software packages. YUM can manage packages from installed repositories in the system or from .

How do I download RPM with all dependencies?

The syntax of “yumdownloader” utility to download RPM along with its dependencies is: # yumdownloader [options] package1 [package2] [package..] For example, to download the RPM “firefox” and all its dependencies, use the beow command.


The link @gertvdijk provided shows a quick way to achieve the desired results without configuring a local repository:

$ yum --nogpgcheck localinstall packagename.arch.rpm

Just change packagename.arch.rpm to the RPM filename you want to install.

Edit Just a clarification, this will automatically install all dependencies that are already available via system YUM repositories.

If you have dependencies satisfied by other RPMs that are not in the system's repositories, then this method will not work unless each RPM is also specified along with packagename.arch.rpm on the command line.


Create a (local) repository and use yum to have it resolve the dependencies for you.

The CentOS wiki has a nice page providing a how-to on this. CentOS wiki HowTos/CreateLocalRepos.


Summarized and further minimized (not ideal, but quickest):

  1. Create a directory for you local repository, e.g. /home/user/repo.
  2. Move the RPMs into that directory.
  3. Fix some ownership and filesystem permissions:

    # chown -R root.root /home/user/repo
    
  4. Install the createrepo package if not installed yet, and run

    # createrepo /home/user/repo
    # chmod -R o-w+r /home/user/repo
    
  5. Create a repository configuration file, e.g. /etc/yum.repos.d/myrepo.repo containing

    [local]
    name=My Awesome Repo
    baseurl=file:///home/user/repo
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=0
    
  6. Install your package using

    # yum install packagename
    

For dnf users just use dnf install *.rpm, localinstall is no longer needed.


For me worked just with

# yum install ffmpeg-2.6.4-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm

And automatically asked authorization to dowload the depedencies. Below the example, i am using fedora 22

[root@localhost lukas]# yum install ffmpeg-2.6.4-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm
Yum command has been deprecated, redirecting to '/usr/bin/dnf install  ffmpeg-2.6.4-1.fc22.x86_64.rpm'.
See 'man dnf' and 'man yum2dnf' for more information.
To transfer transaction metadata from yum to DNF, run:
'dnf install python-dnf-plugins-extras-migrate && dnf-2 migrate'

I found a simpler solution. If you have all the RPMs in the same directory, all you need to do is,

$ sudo rpm -i *.rpm

rpm seems to figure out the correct order to install these and installs the RPMs.


Matthew's answer awoke many emotions, because of the fact that it still lacks a minor detail. The general command would be:

# yum --nogpgcheck localinstall <package1_file_name> ... <packageN_file_name>

The package_file_name above can include local absolute or relative path, or be a URL (possibly even an URI).

Yum would search for dependencies among all package files given on the command line AND IF IT FAILS to find the dependencies there, it will also use any configured and enabled yum repositories.

Neither the current working directory, nor the paths of any of package_file_name will be searched, except when any of these directories has been previously configured as an enabled yum repository.

So in the OP's case the yum command:

# cd <path with pkg files>; yum --nogpgcheck localinstall ./proj1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm ./libtest1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

would do, as would do the rpm:

# cd <path with pkg files>; rpm -i proj1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm libtest1-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

The differencve between these yum and rpm invocations would only be visible if one of the packages listed to be installed had further dependencies on packages NOT listed on the command line.

In such a case rpm will just refuse to continue, while yum would use any configured and enabled yum repositories to search for dependencies, and may possibly succeed.

The current working directory will NOT be searched in any case, except when it has been previously configured as an enabled yum repository.
