Yum Download Package And Dependencies For Project

I have a CentOS machine in which I already installed openssl-devel using

It downloaded and installed all the dependency packages.Now I need all those RPM packages. Is it possible to download only the RPM packages? When I do this:

It says

How to download a specific version of the package along with its dependencies using YUM offline. If there is a need to download the older version package along with its dependencies for an off-line installation, you can use one of the following options to download a particular version of RPM from the web, and then use yum to install it. Find dependencies for a particular package in RHEL, CentOS, Fedora. To find dependencies for any package, you can use the following command. # yum deplist package name For example, to find the dependencies for sqlite, run: # yum deplist sqlite. Sample output: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Repodata is over 2 weeks old. Install yum-cron?

since it's already installed.

Does anyone know how to download those RPM packages on the same system?

It is possible to download the packages of an RPM which is already installed using the --downloadonly switch. I am not sure why yum doesn't check this setting before checking whether the package is already installed, but I guess it could be caused by the underlying architecture of the tool.

Anyway, all you need to do is to tell yum to reinstall the package:

Of course, yum will not know which dependencies were installed just for this package, so if you take the RPMs and try to install them on a different system, some dependencies might be missing. There are ways to explore the whole dependency graph and I'm sure this was already described elsewhere on SE.

yumdownloader in yum-utils will download any packages you pass to it, or optionally generate the URLs the packages can be downloaded from.

You can use the repotrack command from the yum-utils package. It will download the entire dependency tree - even if it is already installed.

Example:

One possibility in the longer term might be to designate a machine as the one to download from the internet, then run NFS (or a webserver) on it to expose /var/cache/yum to the internal hosts.

You would then need to update your yum config, to add:

Per https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Deployment_Guide/sec-Working_with_Yum_Cache.html:

Once you enabled caching, every yum operation may download package data from the configured repositories.

In more practical terms:

The other answers will actually solve your immediate issue, where this will only help if you run yum reinstall for the packages you already have, and want RPMs for.

Yum Download Only

Here's what I do:

sudo yum install --config=./yum.conf --installroot=/tmp/f541Sdex --downloadonly --downloaddir /tmp/DL-e25xds $(cat list-of-packages)
