Issue with Docker installation on Linux

Question

I am trying to install Docker on RHEL whose version details are shown below

I have downloaded the rpm docker-ce-20.10.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm from here. And I run the following install command

sudo yum install /home/projuser/usr/share/Docker/docker-ce-20.10.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm

Error comes up suggesting that docker-ce-rootless-extras is required.

Error: Package: 3:docker-ce-20.10.2-3.el7.x86_64 (/docker-ce-20.10.2-3.el7.x86_64)
Requires: docker-ce-rootless-extras

Here is the full screenshot of error

As per the message I try to install docker-ce-rootless-extras-20.10.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm that I downloaded from here using command shown below

sudo yum install /home/projuser/usr/share/Docker/docker-ce-rootless-extras-20.10.2-3.el7.x86_64.rpm

I get an error that suggests that docker-ce is required

Error: Package: docker-ce-rootless-extras-20.10.2-3.el7.x86_64 (/docker-ce-rootless-extras-20.10.2-3.el7.x86_64)
Requires: docker-ce

Here is the complete screenshot

So I am not sure how to resolve this dependency as docker-ce and docker-ce-rootless-extras are both not getting installed with dependency on each other. Please let me know if you need any other details.

Please help resolve this

Answer 1

Hope it not too late. You have to install both packages at the same time.

rpm -i docker-ce-XXXXX docker-ce-rootless-extras-XXXXX

This command is working for me.
