How to install a rpm package and its dependencies offline

Question

I want to install a rpm package, (e.g. python 3), and all of its dependencies in a linux server that does not have internet connection.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

Assuming you already downloaded the package before from another machine that has internet access and FTP the files to your server, you can use the following command to install a rpm

rpm -ivh package_name_x85_64.rpm

options:

• i = This installs a new package.
• v = Print verbose information
• h = Print 50 hash marks as the package archive is unpacked.

You can also check the rpm manual for more options and details
